$60 MEMBER PRICE: $60
Calendar Next available session starts Mar 13, 2026 at 5:30 pm
Join us for a wine and cheese evening with Üsëless Umläüt Wine and Chantal’s Cheese Shop.

We’re not snobs, but we do love the perfect glass. Join us for a night of sipping and swirling while you try flameworking, cheese, and wine. Rosé, red, or white wine, it’s all fine. Forget the formality and just enjoy the experience.

In this quick and exciting flame shop experience, you’ll work closely with a skilled artist to shape molten glass into a unique bottle stopper using a 3,000°F torch, perfect for corking your favorite vintage.

After your hands-on studio time, chat with the sommelier and cheesemonger, enjoy the wine and cheese pairings, relax on the patio, wander the gallery, and watch live glassblowing demonstrations throughout the evening. If you register for a later glassmaking slot, we suggest arriving early to enjoy all this event has to offer.

Raise a handmade glass to a fun and tasty night.

Don’t put a cork in it yet. Register here to make a stemless wine glass in the hot shop. Make-It-Now experiences offer a quick hands-on introduction to the magic of glassmaking. In the flame shop, you’ll work one-on-one with a skilled local artist at a 3,000° tabletop torch. In about 20 minutes or less, you’ll work together to heat, shape, color, and craft your glass item. Perfect for beginners, these short experiences give a taste of the excitement, skill, and artistry that goes into working with glass in a supportive, guided setting.

Ages 21+

Guests under 21 not permitted.

Due to the nature of hot glass, items cannot be taken home the same day they are created. All items made in the flame shop must go through an annealing process to slowly cool the glass. Items are available for pick-up after 5 days. Shipping can be arranged on site the day of your activity.
