The experience

You probably don't think of wine tasting as something that happens on your own couch, but that's exactly the point. A certified Sommelier arrives at your Austin home with everything needed for a 90-minute private tasting: glassware, three bottles of wine or non-alcoholic wine, and the kind of casual instruction that doesn't assume you know the difference between a nose and a palate. The whole thing is built around the idea that there's no wrong way to taste, just your way.

The tasting walks you through how to actually see, smell, savor and rate three wines. It sounds simple because it is. You're not memorizing tasting notes or learning French regions unless you want to. Instead, the Sommelier helps you figure out what you actually like, whether that's a sparkling wine, something from Texas vineyards, or one of their non-alcoholic options if that's your preference. Five themes are available: Wine Fundamentals, Sparkling Wine Masterclass, Sicily Uncorked, Texas Vintages, or Elevated Sips for NA wines. Pick the one that sounds like you, or ask the team what fits your group.

The three bottles you taste are yours to keep after, which means the tasting doesn't end when the Sommelier leaves. Glassware, setup, and cleanup are all handled. A shopping list for cheese and charcuterie pairings comes with your booking, or you can add a local vendor's board at the time you book. Groups stay under six guests, which keeps the whole thing intimate and means everyone gets actual attention. The experience works for all skill levels and all drinkers. The whole premise is that you're there to find what you like, not to prove you already know.
