August Wine Academy Weekend: Merlot

$20 per person

Wine club members receive 2 free tickets per event

(call 970-434-6868 to RSVP or email info@whitewaterhill.com)

Join us for one weekend each month for a deep dive into one of the amazing grapes that goes into making our award-winning line up of delicious wines! Wine Academy Weekend is a self-guided exploration that will outline the historical context, pairing possibilities, common tasting notes, and structure of each featured grape – as well as a look into the winemaking styles employed here at Whitewater Hill Vineyards as we transform this gorgeous fruit.

Wine Academy Weekend will run from 10 am to 5:45 pm on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and you are welcome to arrive any time within that three-day period. Receive an interactive packet to take home with you, a delicious glass of the featured wine, and continue to expand your knowledge about the wonderful world of wine. Though many of these grapes have centuries of tradition throughout the world, their role in Colorado wine presents unique opportunities to investigate what Colorado terroir and adventurous winemaking can bring to these grapes. We will also cover some non-European grapes that are finding their way into the Colorado wine scene, are particularly well-suited to our austere conditions, and require a whole new repertoire of techniques during harvest and fermentation. Join us on the journey of Colorado wine, a dynamic and constantly shifting landscape on the frontier of winemaking with deep roots in community, tradition, and science.

Science Uncorked: Rooted in Resilience: Lessons from

Redwoods & Junipers

Presented by Briana “B” Board and Kelsey Wells from

EUREKA! Science Museum

Join us for an engaging evening exploring the remarkable adaptations of these two species thriving in vastly different environments, and how experiential education with the EUREKA! Environmental Institute continues to foster environmental stewardship and positive change in our community.

Briana “B” Board and Kelsey Wells both work for the EUREKA! Science Museum, and are motivated by EUREKA!’s mission to inspire a passion and respect for math and science in our communities.

B’s title of Volunteer Coordinator at EUREKA! hardly does justice to her involvement leading Pre-K family programs, travelling with active adults over 55, and working with volunteers to maintain exhibits. Prior to joining EUREKA!, Briana taught outdoor education in Montana and at the Colorado National Monument. She also taught 9th and 10th grade science at Juniper Ridge Community School in Grand Junction. Her diverse experiences have given her a deep knowledge of the natural world—something that continues to inspire both her colleagues and her students.

Kelsey serves as the Co-Director of Education at EUREKA! During the summer months, she leads expeditionary learning experiences for students in grades K–12, and throughout the school year she supports math and science enrichment and engagement across District 51 and beyond. With a background in bilingual education and outdoor leadership, Kelsey has taught in a wide range of educational settings, including Oregon, Utah, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, and here in the Grand Valley.
