events

We will tailor each event to our guests, but if you’re not sure where to start, we also offer several signature event Packages. Each signature event can be booked at a range of price points, for a range of wine interest and experience levels, and in variety of formats.

You provide the people and the place, and we’ll provide everything else - wine, snacks, glassware, sommeliers, facts, and fun. Oh, and we’ll clean up afterwards and leave you to continue the party!
