Burgundy's Finest: The Next Generation

Embark on an exclusive journey through the iconic vineyards of Burgundy, where legendary estates meet a new wave of talent. Join us for an unforgettable evening dedicated to the most ethereal wines.

We'll guide you through a curated tasting of six exceptional Burgundies, featuring a dynamic mix of established, iconic producers and the exciting next-generation winemakers who are shaping the future of the region.

Your expert guides for the evening are two of Calgary's most respected palates:
