Home tasting+class

You pick the place–your home, your office, or your private island, and Jackson comes to you and a group of your family, friends, or colleagues to pour wine, teach, and provide a curated sommelier experience wherever and whenever you need.

2+ hour session | Starting at $1200


zoom/remote tastings

Ever since the pandemic started, we’ve become experts in remote tastings! We’ve tasted with corporate teams, bachelorette parties, graduating classes, remote family reunions, and just about every group you can imagine! Here’s how we do it:

1) We pick a date and time, then curate wines together

2) We ship wine to your participants, wherever they are in the continental US.

3) On the day and time of the tasting, everyone logs on and we taste wine together, with shared maps, pictures, and a fun, carefree classroom atmosphere, led by Jackson, our Master Sommelier. It’s Q & A free for all, so this is your chance for anyone in your group to ask that wine question they’ve always wanted to know but were afraid to ask!

1 hour session | Starting at $1000

 
 

feel like styling yourself out?

We offer a Caviar & Champagne service that is the perfect treat!

Our Caviar service is different. No blini, no white gloves. You’ll certainly get the mother of pearl spoons, but your caviar will be served next to our all-time favorite, Pringles. If you poll fifteen fine-dining sommeliers, chances are that’s the way they’ll suggest serving it too. It rocks, take our word for it.

Our Caviar and Champagne service can be added to any in-person tasting for $60 per person, which includes Champagne, Crème Fraîche, tasty chips, and 1/2 oz Caviar per person.
