Whether you're looking for an in-person corporate shindig, or a casual Zoom meet-up with pals, I'm more than happy to lead a wine tasting for you and yours, from a small handful of you to upwards of 50 people. For certain groups, there could always be an option to loop a winemaker in the mix, too!

A few ideas:
Around The World In 80 Minutes
A rapid-fire overview of the basics of wine, followed by a tour and tasting of classic styles from iconic regions of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, South America and North America! We'll also chat food-pairing, storage and ageing potential, plus much more! |
Say Cheese!
We can do this one in person, or a virtual tasting's no problem! Shipment of cheese can happen almost anywhere. Let's gather artisan cheeses from all around the world and pair them up with wines of similar provenance. Think Comté along side a Jura Chardonnay from France, a nutty Manchego with a zesty Rioja, or a fine-aged Parmesan with a hearty splash of Chianti Classico. We'll share the stories behind the cheeses and wines, and illustrate the art of pairing! |
The Personalized, Premium Experience
For an exclusive, premium experience, I can arrange video dispatches from various wine personalities from around the globe, or occasional bring them online for direct conversation and engagement. A recent session saw a virtual tour of Italy, honing in on the regions of Sicily, Chianti, and Barolo. The image you see here is of Valentina Abbona, family proprietor of Marchesi di Barolo, speaking directly to tasting attendees on the wine that was in their glasses. |
Anytime, Anywhere
While shipping and logistics can provide hurdles with national or international virtual tastings, there's always a way we can make it happen and impress your crew. Recently I had a session with attendees from Africa to Argentina to Arkansas. They wanted to do a virtual tour of the Barossa, Barolo, and California's Napa Valley. Working for something dynamic for everyone, the client and I arranged Visa gift cards to be sent to attendees, with general instructions/recommendations of what to pick up from their local wine shop. While not everyone had the identical wine, they each had various editions of old vine deliciousness and premium reservas from each regions, so they were all in the same place. |
There are so many options and lots of room to play. Let's raise a glass or two together!
