About this experience
During our two hours together, you and your friends will get the opportunity to taste five different wines from anywhere in the world. Prior to the event, these wines can be selected by me or we can determine the best wines for your group together.
To start the experience, your group will learn an approach to tasting wine, enabling you to understand what to look for, smell and taste. Then, while you are tasting your yummy wine, you will gain knowledge about the grape, region, and/or production process. I love sharing fun facts that I uncover with my guests, so it is a very enjoyable, casual and fun experience with friends!
This is a great way to celebrate a life event, appreciate clients, or just hang with friends. On top of all this, we will discuss all aspects of the experience prior to ensure everything is exactly how you would like it.
