OVERVIEW
Are you looking for an inspiring and stimulating retreat experience during this time where travel may be a bit limited? We introduced our “Virtual Vacation” series to help add some connection back into our lives with seasonal at-home getaways aligning with the EPM ethos - connection through wellness, unique experiences, creative outlets, and self-care.
In February we will meet for a special 1-day event where we’ll connect, move & breathe together, then enjoy some time learning and sipping alongside a certified sommelier.
WINES WITH PASSION
After our yoga class and meditation which will both help to prepare our senses for our upcoming tasting and where we’ll get moving and release some of our stresses from our day-to-day, we’ll turn our attention towards the glass. Learn and taste together with the flavors that go so well in this month of love!
In this theme of “Wines with Passion” we’ll discover wines that scream (or whisper) passion in some form - from the winemaking process, to the burst of flavors they exhibit. We’ll explore some of the basics, as well as some more in-depth information - while we taste, swirl, and discuss! ALL IN FUN! No experience needed and we’ll enjoy learning together.
