Join us for Wine Class!
Wine class is a great opportunity to make new friends while learning about and sampling different kinds of wines. These classes are facilitated by wine connoisseur and long-time instructor John E. Myers. Each class will include a food pairing element (cheeses, meats, fruits, etc.) with the wine, as well as a short presentation given by Arts Center staff.
Classes are held in the Buell Children's Museum's Magic Carpet Theater.
Classes will be $45 for non-members, and members receive 10% off!
*Member pricing will reflect in your cart once logged in.
You are welcome to register for class below or call the Welcome Center front desk at 719-295-7200 for questions and assistance. We look forward to you joining us!
Due to a change in wine supplier order deadlines and delivery times, enrollment for each class closes at 3:00pm 1 week prior to the scheduled class.
Again, that is 3:00pm the Thursday before each Class Date.
After that time, we will be unable to reschedule your reservation to another class.
However, if anyone has called and asked to be placed on the waiting list, and we are able to seat them into your existing seats, we are happy to re-schedule your reservation to a future class. Note that although we will try our best, we cannot make any guarantees.
