Asheville Wine Experience
A multi-sensorial adventure in taste, the Asheville Wine Experience was created with the vision of elevating Asheville’s options in gustative adventures in a celebration of all the senses. Melding music, wine, food and spectacular setting together, each one an essential component of the experience, guests become a part of a moment from which memories are made so that each time they open a bottle of Burgundy or hear the touch of a harp in years to come, they will be transported to this magical setting, cares falling to the wayside.
Coming up!
Wine in the Woods
Turtle Island Preserve~April 19, 2024
Join Susi Gott Séguret, Chef, Author, and Certified Specialist of Wine, on April 19, 2024 from 4:00pm-8:00pm, as she introduces you to the riches of the woods through the sensorial elements of wine.
The evening will start at 4:00 pm with arrival and a welcoming glass, continue with a tour of several iconic Turtle Island sanctuaries, narrated, schedule permitting, by Mountain Man Eustace Conway.
During this thirst-creating interlude, guests will taste several woods-inspired wines, accompanied by similarly-inspired micro-dishes, highlighting the tannic, oaky, earthy, brambly, chalky, flinty, dense, starkness of the beverages which are born of the same elements as the woods themselves.
The evening will culminate with songs around the fire, surrounded by the call of the owl, the whoosh of a horse’s relaxed evening breath, and the scent of woodsmoke wafting up to the stars.
Pricing is $150 per person, or $250 per couple. Proceeds will go to Turtle Island Preserve for the continuation of Eustace’s dream of creating a space where modern-day man can return to his original purpose long enough to remember where he is really going and why he is really here.

Tater Gap Farm~Dates to be announced
Much as the above listed session, this session will take place on Susi's family farm in history-laden Madison County, NC, in a breath-taking setting overlooking the Shelton Laurel Valley and the Appalachian Trail.
The wines will be sampled at a number of natural tables as we stroll through the woods, culminating in the warmth of the woodstove-adorned kitchen or--weather permitting--perched on a mountainside with a view of the stars and the layers of hills beyond.
Susi will guide you through wanderings and tastings, and lead you in story and song as the evening winds to a close.
