Curious about wine but not sure where to start?
Already love wine and want to understand it a little more?
Or maybe you’re just looking for a fun night out with good vibes and even better pours…

Welcome to Wine 101
This experience is designed for anyone who loves the idea of wine—whether you’ve just dipped your toe in or you’re ready to level up your wine confidence.

Join us at our downtown Raleigh wine headquarters for a 2-hour tasting experience that’s equal parts education, connection, and fun 🍷🎉


🍾 What’s in Your Glass

You’ll enjoy a guided tasting of 5 high-end boutique wines—all hand-selected to be approachable, smooth, and beginner-friendly (no overwhelm here).

  • 🍷 2 Reds
  • 🥂 2 Whites
  • ✨ 1 Sparkling Dessert Wine

Paired with light cheeses and snacks—just enough to complement the wine without stealing the spotlight 🧀🍇


🧠 What You’ll Learn (Without Feeling Like You’re in School)
  • How to properly hold your wine glass 🍷
  • How to sip, swirl, and taste like you know what you’re doing 😉
  • Easy wine terms you can actually use in conversation
  • How to figure out what wines you truly enjoy
  • How to elevate your palate—without overthinking it

We’ll sprinkle in fun wine trivia, interactive moments, and plenty of laughs along the way 🎉


👯‍♀️ Who This Is For
  • Wine beginners
  • “I like wine but don’t know much about it” drinkers
  • Couples, friends, and solo wine lovers
  • Anyone looking to mingle, learn, and vibe
  • People who want to find their wine and a wine-loving community 🍷❤️

No prior wine knowledge required—just bring your curiosity and your favorite wine glass-holding hand.

Come sip, learn, laugh, and leave with a new favorite wine—and maybe some new wine friends too.
