A modern education program for curious wine lovers. Monthly guided workshops in La Cave — intimate, discussion-driven, and designed to grow with you.
Wine Atelier is our answer to one of the most consistent requests we hear at Petit Philippe: "I want to understand wine better, but not in a formal way."
Each month, we gather in La Cave for a 90-minute guided tasting workshop. Topics span foundations of tasting, regional deep dives, and real-life application — from collecting and pairing to entertaining with confidence.
Workshops stand on their own but build naturally over time. Join for three sessions, half the season, or the full year. There is no required sequence, no memorization, and no prerequisites.
Just curious people, good wine, and thoughtful conversation.
The year is organized into three complementary tracks. You can follow one path or explore all three — each workshop is designed to deliver value on its own.
Build the language and structure behind what you taste. Learn how to read a wine, understand what you're experiencing, and develop a reliable vocabulary for talking about it.
Discover how place, climate, and tradition shape the wines in your glass. Regional deep dives that connect geography to flavor — making the map meaningful.
Bring knowledge into real life. Collecting and cellaring, pairing with intention, building confidence at the table — learning that lives beyond the workshop.
One workshop each month, held the last Thursday at 6:30 PM in La Cave. March through February — a complete season of intentional wine exploration.
No prior knowledge required. No maps to memorize. No certification pressure. Just curiosity and a love of good wine.
You love our weekly flights and have started to wonder what's actually going on in the glass. Atelier is the natural next step.
You want to learn wine but never knew where to start. No prerequisites here — every workshop is designed to be welcoming at every level.
You want more confidence choosing wine in restaurants and shops — and the vocabulary to talk about what you like and why.
Looking for a thoughtful, social experience to share with a partner, friend, or colleague. A standing monthly evening worth looking forward to.
Individual workshops are available at $100 per seat when seats remain. Membership provides savings, priority reservations, and enhanced benefits across the season.
Prefer to try first? Individual workshop seats are released each month at $100 per seat, subject to availability. Membership is the best way to secure your spot — sessions are intentionally limited to 25 guests.
At the end of each workshop, members receive a wine credit toward the wines tasted in class. Take them home, revisit what you learned, and continue building your palate at your own table.
Sessions are intentionally kept small to preserve discussion, depth, and the kind of conversation that only happens in a room of 25 people who are all genuinely curious.
Membership is the most reliable way to hold your seat for the workshops that matter most to you.
Join us for a season of tasting, learning, and growing together — in La Cave, one Thursday at a time.
