FAQ
I can't commit to all 8 classes, what can I do?
-
Buy a full-series ticket and sell extra class passes on the secondary market
-
Look for single tickets on the secondary market (#wine-class or #4049-marketplace)
I want to join, but this looks like too much wine/money.
-
Through our partnership with Philippe, we have access to some of the best wines in the world at industry-insider prices. If you are looking to cut costs, here are some ideas:
-
Share a full-series ticket with a friend alternating class dates
- Buy a full-series ticket and sell the extra classes on the secondary market
- Look for a single ticket when available on CG or on the secondary market (#wine-class or #4049-marketplace)
-
Note: Our most popular class themes tend to sell out
