Finger Lakes Masterclass with Nova Cadamatre, MW

Join us for a focused and highly educational masterclass with Nova Cadamatre, MW, offering a rare opportunity to explore the Finger Lakes through the lens of a winemaker and master taster.

This session will examine the region’s defining lakes and their critical role in shaping site-specific expression. Through a carefully selected flight of Rieslings, participants will analyze how variations in geography, mesoclimate, and producer intent translate into distinct structural and aromatic profiles. Beyond Riesling, the class will also examine other key varieties emerging from the region, highlighting their growing importance and stylistic range. Featuring benchmark examples from some of the area’s top producers, this masterclass is designed to deepen understanding of the Finger Lakes’ unique climatic conditions, geological diversity, and its rising status in the global wine conversation.

Designed to build both theoretical understanding and practical tasting acuity, this promises to be a compelling evening to deepen your knowledge of one of the world's most dynamic cool-climate regions under the guidance of a Master of Wine.
