An Introduction to Wine Tasting with Beverly Crandon
Friday, October 9, 2026
6:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.
The Depanneur
Most intro wine classes hand you a glass and a list of things you’re supposed to smell. Beverly Crandon’s Depanneur masterclass flips that: you train your nose on familiar ingredients first, then carry those references into the glass without the pressure to perform.
It’s a practical sensory workout — aroma families, contrast between styles, and enough structure that you leave with a vocabulary you actually trust. Depanneur’s upstairs room on Spadina is built for this kind of small-group class: kitchen energy, no velvet-rope sommelier theatre.

Thursday, October 9, 2026 at The Depanneur, 192 Spadina Avenue, Suite 501. Tickets and exact timing live on the Depanneur shop page — these masterclasses sell out when the teacher has a following.
Who it’s for
Curious drinkers who are tired of intimidation, date-night learners, and anyone who wants to taste without nodding along to someone else’s “notes of graphite.” Eat something light beforehand; you’ll be smelling and sipping for the session.
Getting there
Spadina streetcar to Queen or Dundas; elevator/stairs to the fifth floor. Arrive a few minutes early so you’re not the person who walks in mid-aroma drill.
