Learn how to taste wine with confidence using the classic See, Swirl, Smell, Sip, Swish, and Say method.

This 90-minute, entry-level workshop breaks down the fundamentals of wine tasting in a relaxed, hands-on setting. No prior knowledge is required, yet it’s equally valuable for experienced wine drinkers who want to sharpen their palate and revisit proper tasting technique.

This workshop includes:

  • Guided instruction through the six steps of wine tasting
  • Six thoughtfully selected wines
  • Light charcuterie snacks
  • A casual, interactive learning environment
  • A complimentary wine glass to take home

Sipping Made Simple

  • Wine tasting without the intimidation or the snobs.

Wine shouldn’t feel confusing. 

  •  But too often it does. Strange terms. Awkward silence. 
  • Guessing what you’re supposed to taste?

That hesitation steals the fun.

  •  You second-guess your palate.
  •  You order what’s safe instead of what excites you.
  •  You enjoy the wine… but feel like you’re missing something.

This workshop changes that!

  • Learn a simple, proven way to taste wine with confidence.
  • Discover how to recognize what you like and why.
  • Relax, sip at your own pace, and enjoy every glass more.

Perfect for beginners, curious wine lovers, and seasoned tasters who want to refine their skills and vocabulary.
