Some of us love wine, but all of us love free. There are plenty of both here in the Triangle — and when they come together — it’s a very beautiful thing.
We have compiled a shortlist of recurring free wine tastings throughout the week in Raleigh, Durham + Chapel Hill. We know there are some great opportunities we missed, so if you know of any other free wine tastings in the Triangle, reply to this email or send them to us on Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook.
