Learning About Wine

While we are pleased and proud to enjoy over 150+ fine wines from Southern Wine & Spirits and partner with a vast range of culinary treats from Orlando area restaurants and caterers, our guests tell us that what makes Science of Wine completely unique is Orlando Science Center’s educational programming about Wine! All the educational content is engaging, hands on and interactive. So, enjoy, wine, dine and learn about the Science of Wine!

Seminar:

Cheese and Wine: Life beyond the 'wine and cheese' social cocktail party. The advent of the cheese course is a cornerstone of today's fine dining experience. Take advantage of it by understanding how to best work wine into the equation. As a separate course, in appetizers and yes, in or with desserts- all scenarios can be explored. Course duration: One hour.

Class is presented by Luis Torres, Constellation Academy of Wine. South American-born, Chicago-raised Luis Torres lends his extensive background in wine supply, distribution, and on-premise roles to the Academy. Read More…
