Paddling along the Loire

Paddling along the Loire

Sat, Aug 10, 20242:00 PM – 2:00 PM MST

A cruise is an easy vacation; there’s no unpacking and repacking, no barreling through a crowded airport to catch that tight connection, and you still manage to explore a broad spectrum of destinations.  A virtual cruise is even simpler- arrive, we hand you a glass, and before you know it, you’re floating along the Loire, exploring the valley and all it holds for you in the vineyards along its meandering stretch.

This Saturday, August 10, our pal Megan arrives, along with any of you who care to attend, at 2:00 pm with four treats from all over the Loire Valley, all suitable for your summer refreshment, and all delicious and reflective of the clean minerality and freshness that the Loire offers.  You can call us at (520) 326-9363 and we’ll polish that glass for you and have wine samples at the ready.  As is often the case, the tasting costs $18 plus tax and tip and affords you the opportunity to taste, learn, question and rub elbows with like-minded wine tasters.

See you on Saturday.

“Opening this place feels a little surreal. To now have a space where we can bring together coffee, food, art, booze, and all the weird things we love feels like a reflection of how far we’ve come.” —Tyler Melo
