Online wine tasting sessions have quickly become the norm and they're giving people the opportunity to connect with other wine and food lovers on a deeper level. Like many other wineries, Aperture Cellars in California has had to temporarily close its tasting rooms but it has pivoted to offer virtual wine tasting experiences.
One bespoke wine tasting package from Aperture Cellars comes with not just a demonstration from a winemaker via Zoom but also a cooking session led by a Michelin-starred chef. The tasting package comes with a 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon, 2017 Bordeaux Red Blend and a 2019 Sauvignon Blanc and a portion of the proceeds from the package will be donated to support Corazón Healdsburg's Unity and Community fund.
