This class meets at our Court Street location

Everybody loves tomatoes, but there's more mystery to our plump red (sometimes) friend than meets the eye. Celebrate the end of tomato season with this single session tasting and discussion that will tickle your taste buds AND your brain-buds!

We'll begin with a blind tasting before diving head-first into the origin and production method for each variety. The history, botany, economics and legal status of tomatoes tell an amazing tale that we'll investigate with full force.
