How a Wine Tour Can Surprise You

Confidence You Didn’t Know You Had

We all know that paralyzing feeling when you’re at a restaurant with a group of friends and someone hands you the wine list to choose a bottle for the table. Like many things, wine has its own language. But you don’t need to speak it fluently to order with confidence.

After a wine tour, you’ll have a better understanding of basic pairings and what questions to ask to get what you like (and communicate what you don’t). And if the bottle is also available by the glass, it’s perfectly fine to ask for a taste before committing.

It’s really no more complicated than ordering cocktails—and most would agree that cocktails can’t compare to how the right wine can elevate a food experience.


Discover Something You Didn’t Expect to Like

“I thought I hated Rosé.”
“I’ve never even heard of Charbono.”
“I didn’t know Chardonnay could taste like that.”

Learning something about yourself has never been so fun, no?
