Choose from Three Options

  • $55 for a Wine Tasting Techniques class for 2, including cheese-and-cracker pairings (a $110 total value)

Classes take place every Wednesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and accommodate 8–20 students. Under the direction of a skilled staff, participants learn the basics of interpreting a wine's multifaceted flavors. After a brief tour of the vineyard and winery, students are lead through a sensory analysis. The class may be done without sampling wine; this Groupon does not include wine, but eight tastings may be added during class for $9 per person. Participants select cheese-and-cracker pairings to cleanse palates between quaffs. Each student leaves with a gift bag full of wine-related goodies.

Haak Vineyards & Winery

Since 1969, when Gladys Haak gave her husband Raymond two concord grapevines to celebrate their 10th anniversary, the couple's namesake vineyard has flourished into 1,800 vines sprawling across three acres. Galveston County's first and only winery transforms grapes into award-winning potions that have earned the attention of the Houston Press and the Dallas Observer. Whether sipped onsite or at various shops and restaurants, the wines grace glasses with a diverse mélange of local blends. Custom labels can be commissioned to personalize each bottle with heartfelt dedications or nutritional information written in iambic pentameter.

The vineyard welcomes thirsty visitors with tours of their verdant vines, 25,000-square-foot workshop, and deli stocked with Boar's Head meats and pungent cheese. Frequent guests reap the exclusive benefits of the winery’s club memberships, which include invitations to special events, first tastings, discounts, and complementary bottles. An event-ready banquet space also sets the scene for memorable weddings and events, with the winery’s chef, Kim Johnson, overseeing catering duties, cake cuttings, and the busboys’ a capella performance of “Take My Breath Away."

The Groupon Guide to: Apple Picking

As President Dwight Eisenhower always said, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away. An apple at night? Ooh, there's a sneaky delight!" Here are some tips for gathering these famed fruits:

Plant an Apple Orchard: Apples grow faster when they're nourished by fertilizer, which is the businessman's way of saying “thick, sweet dirt.”

Climb an Apple Tree: Once your apple trees grow, you'll have to scale one to get its fruits. Use a ladder or make the apples come to you by burying the tree in more and more dirt until you can walk to the top of it.

Gather Apples in a Basket: You'll need a basket that's round, deep, and has never been used to transport a sick person.

Make Something: Core, peel, and bake your newly acquired apples into a pie, tart, or wet mush that is meant for babies but can be eaten by soft-toothed adults.

What did President Eisenhower always say about apples? Find out in today's Groupon Guide.
