Mormon History with a side of Wine

Treat your guests to a three-hour field trip to discover historic sites in the Salt Lake City area tied to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (aka Mormon) religion, while tasting fine wines that have been selected to reflect these interesting locations. At each stop, a field trip teacher will educate the guests on the historic location, its importance to the Mormon church, and its present-day significance. Guests will see each historic site and then, will enjoy wine pairings enroute to the next location. Light, paired nibbles are included.
  • Pick up at your Salt Lake hotel – Sparkling wine served as the guests board the vehicle and hear about early Mormon history. Driving wine: A famous sparkling wine from the North Coast appellation in California
  • Temple Square – Discover why the Star of David, a Jewish symbol, is seen on many Mormon churches, and view the Hand Cart statue and Seagull monument in Temple Square. Driving wine: A tasty, French Premiere Cru Chablis
  • Families First for Mormons – Families are forever in the Mormon faith so keeping track of them is of paramount importance. This non-denominational library has resources for anyone. Driving wine: A tasty Utah Rosé made in Park City, Utah
  • The Utah Capitol – Brigham Young was Utah’s 1st governor. What happened before and after the state became official? How did polygamy figure into the transition? Driving wine: A boutique Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast
  • Avenging Angel – Porter Rockwell was either a saint or a sinner depending on your perspective. Discover how many people he killed, why they were killed, and his softer side. Driving wine: A deep, dark French Chateauneuf-du-Pape, not unlike Porter Rockwell
  • Saint and Sinner – An outlaw born in Utah, Mormon Butch Cassidy specialized in robberies and was instrumental in creating the famous Outlaw Trail from Mexico to Canada. Driving wine:  A 20-year Tawny Port to highlight sweet safety on the Outlaw Trail
