What We Offer

Selecting the Wines

  • It's best to have five different wines for a tasting: two whites, two reds, and sweet wine. Guests should taste wines side-by-side to appreciate the contrast in flavors.
  • Accordingly, we provide two wine glasses for each guest.
  • One bottle per wine is enough for up to 12 guests. For 5-6 different wines, that means 5-6 bottles. (We constantly adjust accordingly)
  • When selecting specific wines to offer your guests, we draw from crucial classic wine regions and unique ancient world wines; we keep them diverse.
  • We take care of all logistics and setup.
  • We are always mindful that your guests do not drink too much or drink and drive by, encouraging the use of pouring buckets, providing plenty of water, and winding down the tasting component well before the gathering ends.
