The Portland Wine Tasting Class for two is perfect if your grandparents are wine enthusiasts – or even if they just want to find out a little more about their favorite glass of wine. This two-hour class will help your grandparents understand their palates and recognize distinct flavor profiles. Using a fun and thorough tasting kit, they will be taught all the basics of the grapes that go into the different wines as well as the wine making process. With lots of tasting along the way (of course!) the class also covers wine history, comparisons of wines, flavor profiles, wine vocabulary, and regions of wine importance.

If your grandparents are the creative type, why not surprise them with the Jacksonville Painting Class for two – after all, you’re never too old to paint a masterpiece! This three-hour class combines painting with a fun social environment where your grandparents can enjoy a glass of wine as they get creative on a canvas. Ideal for any skill level, the canvas, easel, paint, brushes and aprons are all provided, so all your grandparents have to do is bring their artistic licence! With guidance all the way from an expert instructor, the end result of the class will be a unique and personal painting that your grandparents can either hang up at home or give away as a gift.

Or, if your grandparents like to be outdoors, why not treat them to the Seattle Lakes Scenic Tour Cruise for two, a great chance to explore the Washington countryside on a fun sightseeing trip?

A fabulous day out that your grandparents will treasure.
