CORPORATE AND PRIVATE WINE EVENTS​

 

Private Wine Courses

We are happy to arrange private courses that fit both your educational needs and schedule. Whether you desire a WSET (Wine & Spirit Education Trust) or CSW (Certified Specialist of Wine) certification for a private group or are interested in having us design a custom course for you, we can accommodate most requests. Please be aware that custom and private courses are available for an additional cost. For pricing and more information please contact us here.

We can also arrange private tastings at a selected venue or in your own home if desired. We advise a minimum party size of 10-12 guests for cost reasons. We can offer advice on themes and wines if you wish, or source wines to suit your own preference. These types of tastings typically last from 1.5 to 2 hours, but can be tailored to suit your requirements. Prices vary depending on the location, the number of guests, type of course, and the style and selection of wines desired.

Please email or call us at 855-513-9738 and someone from our Academy will be happy to discuss formats, themes, dates, locations, numbers, and budgets.

Corporate Wine Events

We run corporate events for companies, both large and small, in Napa Valley and across the country. Our packages can be tailored to meet a wide variety of client needs and to suit most budgets. Companies use us for a variety of reasons, such as:

  • Incentive trips
  • Customer entertainment

  • Business seminars and conferences (often prior to dinner)

The venue can be selected by us or the event can be organized at the your premises or elsewhere.

Corporate wine events start at $95 per person and can be arranged on a fixed fee basis for larger groups.

Wine tasting events for corporate clients can take many formats, from fun and informal with quiz/blind tasting/team element, to more formal tutored tasting with a wide variety of wines. In all cases you can expect the following:

  • Hire/cleaning of professional ISO tasting glasses
  • Chilling equipment for optimal serving of wines
  • Approximately 6-8 different high-quality wines
  • Professional tasting notes/quiz sheets on each wine
  • Digital projection equipment with DVDs/maps/slides where appropriate

All our wine events are highly interactive in nature, and are produced and structured for all levels of knowledge and interest in wine.
