Can’t Travel or Get Together? No Problem!
We truly enjoy hosting our guided tastings & educational events in-person, but we know that travel and meetings aren’t always feasible or economical. We can host any of our experiences below virtually if desired. Just let us know in your reservation request.
For virtual tastings and events, we ship wines, provisions, and everything else directly to your guests, including details for the online event.
