Private Wine Events, Hosted By Van The Wine Man

Have fun with friends or family while learning more about wine, cocktails and spirits and how to enjoy them.

 
 

Wine Tastings

I will host an interactive, guided tasting to your preferences and budget. Learn about wine tasting basics or go deep. We can source from the vast world of wines, from big name estates to little known up-and-comers. Explore wine based on regions, (Oregon vs Burgundy) winemaking styles, (Oak vs Steel Aging) or grape varietals. (Chardonnay from Around the World) Learn how glassware, temperature and more everyday elements impact your enjoyment. From a party for fun and celebration, to a serious tasting for education or research, experience the world of wine like never before.

Wine Dinners

Add a sommelier host and customized wine pairings to your dining event. Whether it is an intimate dinner, or group celebration, I will select wines to pair with your meal and match the vibe of your event. I will source your wines and arrange for their delivery. I also rent Riedel stemware, for a fine dining touch.

Cocktails & Spirits

Yes, I do drinks! I often begin or finish a tasting or dinner with craft cocktail or combine the worlds of wine and spirits with wine-based cocktails. For enthusiasts, ask me about a cocktail or spirits tasting.
