The Umstead Hotel and Spa welcomes the return of its popular Umstead Uncorked wine tasting series on January 31. Held on the last Thursday of each month, the one-hour gatherings are led by Herons' sommelier Hai Tran, who guides participants through four wine tastings, paired with complementary small plates by executive chef Scott Crawford. From Argentinian Malbecs to the hidden gems of Germany and Austria, Umstead Uncorked offers a distinctive experience for wine enthusiasts. Events will take place in the Fireplace Lounge or on the Terrace (weather permitting) and are $40 per person.
