Wine Riot

Get ready to wine down as the annual Wine Riot tasting event returns on Nov. 16-17. The Castle at Park Plaza sets the stage to sip on more than 100 varietals from across the world, bottled by vintners like the fourth-generation Riboli family and Argentina’s Finca Las Moras. Guests can expand their knowledge with three interactive Wine 101 sessions that include food pairings prepared by Boston chefs, as well as 20-minute courses presented by local sommeliers and event host and journalist Jason Tesauro. This year’s event will include an hourlong seminar and cocktail lesson courtesy of Hennessy, while attendees can also partake in a range of other activities, from booths for temporary tattoos and photos to a bubbles-centric bar and even a wine glass decorating station.
