7/11 & 7/12 Grill Meets Glass With Verterra Winery

🔥 Grill Meets Glass | Verterra Winery 🍷

Think beer. Drink wine… with BBQ.

Think wine doesn’t belong at your summer cookout? Think again.

Join Verterra co-owner Paul Hamelin for an intimate, interactive tasting that explores one of summer’s most unexpected—and delicious—pairings: Michigan wine and BBQ.

Your experience begins with a welcome pour of Verterra Brut Rosé, then you’ll pull up a stool at the bar as Paul guides you through three Verterra wines paired with three smoked pork skewers (9 bites total) from Wooden Whisk Catering and three Michigan-made BBQ sauces. Together, you’ll discover how sweetness, smoke, spice, acidity, and tannins create unforgettable pairings.
