Is it a wine class or a social hour? Sips & Tips is both.

Elizabeth Musgrave believes having a fun time is the key to learning about wine. Join this wine party-class on Thursday, February 11, from 6:30-8:30 PM at the historic Indianapolis Propylaeum. This three-story Victorian style Mansion is a romantic backdrop to the perfect setting for learning how to pair wine with chocolate for your sweetheart on Valentine’s Day. Take a self-guided tour of the Mansion, built in the 1890’s and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, then taste paired wines and chocolates while mingling with your new-found wine friends.

Quick tips on reading wine labels, pairing wines and a few terms to assist you will be shared along the journey. Wines will be available for purchase after the event – laughter is encouraged throughout the event.

Tickets are $20.00 to enjoy wine tastings, chocolate tastings, receive a quick tip cheat sheet and have fun.
