Private Wine Tastings & Curated Gatherings

Relaxed, guided tastings featuring responsibly farmed wines. Designed around your table, your guests, and the kind of evening you want to create.

A Relaxed, Exploratory Wine Experience Designed Around Your Table

Every tasting we host is built around your gathering. Our private wine tastings are designed to bring a relaxed, in-home wine tasting experience to your space.

We start by learning what you’re envisioning including the the kind of wines you enjoy, the tone of the evening, and whether you’re planning to serve food. From there, we curate a selection that fits your table, whether that means easy, everyday wines or something more elevated for a special occasion.

If you’re including food, we’ll guide you on pairings or build the experience around it so everything works together naturally.

During the experience, we will guide your group through the wines in a way that feels relaxed, conversational, and welcoming.

Everyday Elevated

A relaxed tasting featuring approachable wines that are perfect for everyday gatherings.

Great for:
• book clubs
• girls’ nights
• neighborhood dinners
• small celebrations

Special Occasion Tastings

A more elevated selection of wines chosen for memorable evenings and milestone gatherings.

Great for:
• birthdays
• anniversaries

• holiday celebrations

Wine & Food Pairings

A guided tasting paired with charcuterie or small bites designed to highlight the wines.

Options may include:
• wine & cheese pairings
• charcuterie boards
• tapas-style small plates

Perfect for groups who want a full tasting experience.

Thoughtfully Curated

The wines featured in our tastings come from responsibly farmed vineyards and small producers who focus on quality and craftsmanship.

Many guests discover wines during tastings that they later order for delivery or join our monthly membership to continue exploring.

Tastings are never about memorizing tasting notes or pretending to be an expert. They are about enjoying great wine and learning something new along the way.

Every tasting can be tailored to the tone and style of your gathering.
