# Event Details - **Event Name**: Exploring Ukraine: The Wines and The Region - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 02 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Mon, 02 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm - **Event Description**: Join us for a fun evening of tasting delicious Ukrainian wines!About this EventDiscover the soul of a rising wine region as we journey to the shores of the Black Sea for an evening dedicated to the wines of Shabo, one of Ukraine’s most historic and forward-thinking wineries. Join us at Cork & Fork this December for a tasting that celebrates resilience, craftsmanship, and the enduring spirit of Ukrainian winemaking.Founded over two centuries ago near the Dniester estuary in Odesa, Shabo stands at the crossroads of tradition and modern innovation. Under the vision of winemaker Giorgi Lukuridze, the estate has become a powerful symbol of Ukraine’s wine renaissance—producing beautifully expressive wines that capture both the strength of the land and the courage of its people. From crisp whites and elegant rosés to structured reds and refined sparkling wines, each bottle tells a story rooted in heritage and renewed through hope.This special tasting also honors the partnership between Shabo and Spyrt Worldwide, its U.S. importer founded by Sam Lerman. Lerman’s connection to Ukraine began in the earliest days of the war, when he worked directly from a safe house to support producers like Shabo. Today, part of every sale contributes to Invictus Global Response, an organization dedicated to clearing landmines in affected regions—turning each glass poured into a gesture of solidarity and peace.Join us to explore a remarkable collection that includes both the approachable Shabo Original series and the nuanced elegance of the Reserve and Grand Reserve wines, along with traditional Qvevri-fermented bottlings that reflect the region’s ancient heritage. This evening is more than a tasting—it’s a celebration of resilience, discovery, and the unyielding beauty of wine made with purpose.Raise your glass to courage, craft, and connection. Ukraine’s wines are ready for the world. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/washington/exploring-ukraine-the-wines-and-the-region/100001874619961769 - **Event Categories**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 41.54, max: 41.54, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Washington - **state**: DC - **country**: United States - **location**: Cork & Fork LLC - **lat**: 38.9105336 - **long**: -77.0321529 - **full address**: Cork & Fork LLC, 1522 14th Street Northwest, Washington, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Exploring Ukraine: The Wines and The Region - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/9d923515c42c31ada3316e6caaf23d2df1382f260fb78d2fba93b79c433e400c-rimg-w1200-h799-dc030302-gmir.jpg?v=1761875827 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Exploring Ukraine: The Wines and The Region being held? - **A:** Exploring Ukraine: The Wines and The Region takes place on Mon, 02 Feb, 2026 at 05:30 pm to Mon, 02 Feb, 2026 at 07:00 pm at Cork & Fork LLC, 1522 14th Street Northwest, Washington, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Exploring Ukraine: The Wines and The Region? - **A:** Exploring Ukraine: The Wines and The Region is organized by Cork & Fork. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Exploring Ukraine: The Wines and The Region", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/9d923515c42c31ada3316e6caaf23d2df1382f260fb78d2fba93b79c433e400c-rimg-w1200-h799-dc030302-gmir.jpg?v=1761875827", "startDate": "2026-02-02", "endDate": "2026-02-02", "url": "https://allevents.in/washington/exploring-ukraine-the-wines-and-the-region/100001874619961769", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Cork & Fork LLC", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "1522 14th Street Northwest", "postalCode": "20005", "addressLocality": "Washington", "addressRegion": "DC", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "38.9105336", "longitude": "-77.0321529" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Join us for a fun evening of tasting delicious Ukrainian wines!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-22", "availabilityEnds": "2026-02-02", "validFrom": "2026-04-22", "lowPrice": "41.54", "highPrice": "41.54", "price": "41.54", "url": "https://allevents.in/washington/exploring-ukraine-the-wines-and-the-region/100001874619961769" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-22", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-22", "url": "https://allevents.in/washington/exploring-ukraine-the-wines-and-the-region/100001874619961769", "price": "41.54", "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Cork & Fork", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/cork-and-fork/23975886", "description": "At Cork & Fork, we unite wine enthusiasts to explore and enjoy global wines.
