Virtual &  In-Person Tastings

Virtual & In-Person Tastings are great for parties, team building activities, as well as gatherings where you want to entertain, but enjoy your time with the people you love. Sara brings or sends you all materials needed, as well as wines, or cocktail kits, to ensure we all have the same “mis en place” (a culinary term for everything in its place).

Virtual tastings are about an hour long, and are tons of fun, mixed with education, plenty of Instagram-able moments, and sometimes even trivia!

In person tastings are 1.5-2 hours, and are great for Luxury Buildings, Corporate Offices, Holiday Gatherings, and Special Occasions.

Popular Wine topics include Wine 101, Old World vs New World, Wine and Chocolate Pairings, and so much more!

Popular Spirits topics include Seasonal Cocktails, Whiskey and Chocolate, Holiday Cocktails, Margarita Madness, and Tequila and Chocolate Pairings.

We’ve now also added: Wine and Olive Oil Tastings! This is becoming very popular, and in demand. Great for those who imbibe and those who don’t too.
