Wine and the White House: A History

Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum

From Inaugural celebrations to state dinners to world-changing diplomatic events, wine has long played a role in the history made at the White House. Join us to hear fascinating tales dating back to George Washington from Ryan’s latest book, "Wine and the White House: A History." You can sip from home right along with the program as Adam Fortuna will be on hand to provide tasting tips and notes from a selection of wines. This program is presented in partnership with the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation, Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum, and the White House Historical Association.
