The Science of Wine, the annual fundraiser for the Orlando Science Center, returns to the Loch Haven facility on Saturday, April 27, from 7 to 10 p.m. The event has always blended fun and education, exploring the scientific aspects of winemaking while imbibing in the lab results. But this year’s agenda sounds scienceier than other years.
There will be two 20-minute presentations by Dr. Robin Back of UCF’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management on South African winemaking, with samples of Fleur Du Cap 2018 South African Pinotage.
There will be scientific wine and cheese-pairing nuances from advanced sommelier Melissa McAvoy and Diahann Smith with Florida Dairy Farmers.
And in The Hive: A Makerspace, you can learn about making a wine caddy using a computer numerical control (CNC) machine. OK, we just went full nerd.
Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits is the presenting partner and will be providing all the wines.
Tickets are $135 for general admission ($110 for OSC members) and can be purchased here. There will also be live music, access the the center’s exhibits on four floors, and, of course, food, provided by:
4Rivers Smokehouse
Arthur’s Creative Events & Catering
