A wine tasting is an opportunity to sample wines that may not be on your regular wine rotation. Besides learning about a particular region, varietal, and style of wine, tastings often lend themselves to great socializing and sharing of a wine experience. With a baker’s dozen of locations throughout the Twin Cities metro, we have a number of wine events to share with you along with a couple others you’ll want to put in your Outlook calendar.

Wine tastings are fun, social ways to explore – and taste – some of the vast amounts of wine varietals available. And, at Haskell’s, we firmly believe that through familiarity of wine will come much pleasure! That’s why, along with our wine tastings, we want to invite you to consider joining Minnesota’s Premier Wine Society where you’ll have special access to fine wine dinners, river cruises and tastings, and much more. Join the Bacchus Society.
