The Roost Ancient World W**e Fest
The Roost | 1401 Pennsylvania Ave. SE
Sunday, October 18th | $45
Two Sessions! 12:00pm - 2:00pm & 3:00pm - 5:00pm
Tickets Available at Link in Bio!

Join us at The Roost for a walk-around tasting and bottle sale of 30 of our favorite w**es from ancient growing regions!

In the w**e industry, we talk a lot about Old World vs New World. Old World being the European w**e regions that started making w**e under the cultural and political influence of the Ancient Roman Empire, and New World being the w**e regions where those grapes were spread in the next era. But many w**e experts and historians are now pointing out that there was a vast w**e industry and tradition well before the Roman Empire. People have been making world-class w**es in countries such as Croatia, Georgia, Lebanon, Greece, Armenia, and Ukraine for literal millenia, and those w**e cultures still exist today.

We’re gathering some of the best DC w**e distributors at The Roost to share some of our favorite w**es made in these incredibly historic w**e regions, both in old traditional methods and in modern innovative w**emaking techniques! Join us on October 18th for a walk-around tasting featuring 30 ultra-fine w**es crafted sustainably in the Ancient World!

The price is $45 per person to taste through all of our favorite sparkling, white, orange, rosé, and red w**es, and gain access to our fabulous bottle sale! You'll be rewarded with not only a beautiful afternoon, sipping some serious w**es with a crew of pros doing the pouring, but you'll enjoy the security of trying before you buy with some rare pricing on all of the bottles - just for you & just for the day, so c'mon and let's get tasting!
