What exactly is Wining About
Wining About Art is an original program created by PAC that presents a new series of art talks in a very special way! Each art historical topic will be paired with wines from the associated region. Our speakers are professors, educators and professionals in their field and our wines are carefully curated to complement each lecture
The wines selected need time to be ordered so we are unable to offer walk-in ticket sales. Our final seat count is needed 1.5 weeks before each event, so please get your tickets early.

SPRING 2025 Lecture Series
Medieval to Gothic: Mythical Beasts, Sacred Symbolism, and Guardians in Stone
Feb. 7 @ 7:00 PM
Moving from the Medieval to the Gothic period marks a significant evolution in European art, reflecting changes in religious, cultural, and social dynamics. The solidity and simplicity of the Medieval period focusing on spiritual symbolism opens up to the complex, innovative, expressive, and soaring verticality of the Gothic period.
Featuring a curated selection of wines by Lori Devlin, paired
with a special lecture by Prof. Loretta Corbisiero-Drakos
The Early Renaissance in Tuscany
March 7 @ 7:00 PM
Featuring a curated selection of wines by Lori Devlin, paired
with a special lecture by Prof. John Cino
As much of Europe was entering the Gothic phase, the city states fueled by memories of ancient Rome took a different direction. By the 14th century Tuscan city states, Florence and Sienna engaged in a rivalry in artistic production which helped launch the Renaissance. We will look at 13th and 14th century architecture, painting and sculpture from the region while we sample Tuscan wines.
Sicily • Kingdom of Italy
April 4 @ 7:00 PM
Featuring a curated selection of wines by Lori Devlin, paired
with a special lecture by Prof. John Cino
The southernmost region of Italy and centrally located in the Mediterranean , Sicily has a unique history and culture. Before coming under Roman rule Sicily was a colony of Greece and had been controlled by Phoenicians from the Middle East and Carthaginians from North Africa. Later it would come under the control of Germanic, Byzantine, Arab, Norman and Spanish rule. Eventually Sicily would merge with the Kingdom of Italy in 1861. Each of these cultures left its influence and often melded with others creating a rich tapestry unlike any other region of Italy. Its location in the midst of the Mediterranean and its volcanic soil have produced equally unique wines.
