Kicked it all off with the wine blending seminar inside the resort. Instructed by Tony Porcellini, who is the director of food & beverage. This seminar was laid back and educational. Porcellini, teaches the roots of wine, breaks down barrel samples, and how to save money when purchasing wine. Knowledge that will most definitely be used in the future! The seminar also included a fun opportunity to blend your own wine which was also served with a yummy variety of cheeses.
