Wit & Wisdom | Loire Valley Masterclass with Cynthia Hurley

Wit & Wisdom
Thursday
June 4 | 6:00–8:00 PM
RSVP Required

Spend your Thursday evening exploring the Loire Valley—France’s most delightfully diverse (and often delightfully debated) wine region.

Led by French importer Cynthia Hurley, this masterclass is a guided deep dive into the Loire’s many expressions, from bracing, ocean-kissed Muscadet to flinty Sauvignon Blanc, layered Chenin Blanc, and quietly compelling Cabernet Franc.

We’ll taste with intention and curiosity, digging into:

How soils—from schist to limestone to silex—shape what’s in your glass
The Loire’s cool-climate personality and river influence
Classic benchmarks alongside rising producers
Structure, ageability, and what makes each appellation distinct

Expect a thoughtful, wine-nerd–friendly evening that balances learning with pure enjoyment. Whether you’re here to refine your palate or simply spend time with great wines and good company, you’ll leave with a deeper appreciation for this endlessly fascinating region.

Seats are limited—please RSVP in advance.
