Host Your Own Exclusive Wine Event at Jonathan Edwards Winery
melissa • August 22, 2019

Wine tasting events are the perfect occasion to get together with a group of friends and taste some of the most excellent wines available. As the most distinguished providers of wine tasting events in Fairfield County, we can cater for and create magical experiences for up to 200 wine connoisseurs. Surrounded by the beauty of 20 acres of lush vineyards, our special wine events are magical, atmospheric, and memorable.


This piece will list and discuss some of the most popular grape varieties that we carry, offering you an insight into the mouthwatering wines available to savor for you and your guests.


Cabernet Sauvignon

Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the leading varieties of red wine grapes on the planet. With historical roots on the vineyards of Bordeaux, France, this grape has found global popularity in California and Australia’s wine regions. Aged in oak, with smokey vanilla notes, this red wine is a delicious addition to any wine tasting event.


Merlot

With smooth vanilla nuances and fruity accents, the popularity of this beautiful red is second only to that of Cabernet Sauvignon. Once again, this grape owes its heritage to the infamous vineyards of Bordeaux. However, the fertile soils and perfect growing environments in Italy, California, and Chile have made Merlot a global superstar with wine enthusiasts across the world.


Pinot Grigio

For white wine lovers, Pinot Grigio brings peach hues and delicious stone fruit aromas to the palate. A popular variety from the Pinot family, this berry skins of the Pinot-Gris grape are rose-colored, and the wines have a vibrant yellow appearance. These wonderful wines range from full-bodied and spicy to light and acidic, depending on the region they were cultivated. No white wine list is complete without a crisp and fruity Pinot Grigio.


Chardonnay

Here at Jonathan Edwards Winery, we offer a smooth vanilla Chardonnay with mouth watering fruit accents. Chardonnay is, without a doubt, one of the world’s most popular and sought after white wine varieties. The legendary Burgundy region of France is hailed as the original home of Chardonnay, however Australian and Californian winemakers have rivaled the region with their world-class Chardonnay offerings since the mid-1970s.
