Private Wine & Cheese Tasting with Customizable Theme

What you'll do:

Wine knowledge may seem intimidating and out of reach, but I’m here to make it fun and engaging. I customize the theme of each wine tasting to make it a perfect fit for you and your friends! I tend to alternate between a balance of useful and in-depth knowledge and fun, playful party vibes. At the end of the day, it's just grapes ;) There are three tiers you can choose from: Basic, Elevated, and High End. In each tier, the quality of the wine increases. All the wines are carefully selected, made by small producers growing sustainable grapes and making low-intervention wines. If you're not sure what that means, we'll discuss it in the tasting!

Why we love it for your party:

• Learn to talk about wine like a pro (Impress your friends and order with confidence at any restaurant or wine bar)

• Pair wine with unexpected snacks (Who knew your favorite junk food could taste even better with the perfect glass of wine?)

• Sip, swirl, and savor with a fun theme (From Champagne bubbles to Hogwarts-inspired pairings, there’s a tasting experience for everyone.)

• Master the art of blind tasting (Discover tricks to identify wines like a sommelier—even without seeing the label!)

• Custom experiences for your perfect party (Got a creative idea? Let’s make it happen with a tasting tailored just for you!)

• Try out the Porrón! (Enjoy a palate cleanser with this traditional glass wine pitcher - think elevated beer bong ;)
