We can also host wine tasting parties/ celebration/ corporate events.

Sample Sessions
Wine 101
A popular beginner session that combines a bit of viticulture, winemaking process and the basics of wine and grape varieties. The session is 2 hours long and we will taste a mix of sparkling, white and red in famous grape varieties.
Know your Grapes Series
An ideal way to start your wine journey is to know the widely grown grapes and their characteristics. We start with the noble grape varieties and explore some regional ones too.
​​​Session 1 - Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Syrah
Session 2 - Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo
Session 3 - Riesling, Merlot, Sangiovese
Sparkling Wines
From Champagne, Prosecco and Cava to lesser known Franciacorta and Asti wines, learn about the techniques and method of making different sparkling wines and taste some well known ones to understand what sets them apart.
Beautiful Blends
In this session, we will explore the best blended wines of the world like Bordeaux, Rhone Valley and Super Tuscans. What makes them work? Why do those grapes go well together?
Navigating the Restaurant Wine List
We understand that the wine list at many restaurants can be intimidating. Equally stressful is talking to the sommelier and nodding understandingly to the confusing terminology thrown at you. In this course, we demystify the restaurant winelist and provide expert tips on how to order like a pro!
Wine-Food Pairings
Unline many other drinks, wine is best enjoyed with food and when you have the right wine for the right food, they truly complement each other and make it so much more enjoyable. In this session, you will learn the basics of food and wine pairing: the different tastes and the acidity/tannins in wine that complement them.
