Days of Wine and Popes
Preparing for the Pope!
We are excited about Pope Francis’ visit to Philly, and are thus showcasing people and events of historical, papal import – through wine! Join us for three tasting events on the trails of Popes, exile, crusades, pageantry, and gallantry.
Our first tasting is focused on “firsts”. This will take us to Lombardy for the first sovereign of Vatican City, and to Canada where the first Polish Pope became the first to visit our neighbors to the North. From there we will travel to the pulpit in Auvergne for the call to the first crusade, go to the home of the first Pope from Dalmatia, and end at the Sardinian exile of the first Pope to resign.
This tasting will be led by Jill Weber, Jet's owner and Wining Archaeologist, as part of our Global Vineyard Passport Series. Your ticket entitles you to our 5-wine tasting and light snacks, plus 15% off your evening's bar tab.
