Book an In-Home Wine Tasting!

Thanks for stopping by, we’re glad our ad in the Bulletin caught your eye. couch + cork brings the joy of wine education right to your home. Work with one or two internationally-certified wine experts to plan a fun activity for family and friends. There’s no wine sales, we’re all about educating and entertaining your guests so that they’re confident in the wine shop (or aisle!). We’re offering a discount to parishioners who mention the ad or use the form on this page to book! No matter you and your guests experience in wine, we’re here to create the perfect wine experience for all of you!

How it Works

Give us a call or fill out the form at the bottom of this page. We just need some basic information like the date and time you’d like to plan your tasting for, any ideas you have about the topic—there’s some ideas below the form!—and specific requests (like if this is a birthday party or part of a bachelor party weekend).
Invite your guests and let us know any of their dietary restrictions. While we don’t bring snacks, we do send you paired suggestions ahead of time based on the wines we’re bringing. These are simple suggestions (cheese, fruit, veg, nuts, meat to build a spread) and also some of our favorite recipes if you want to make it a meal.
Enjoy your tasting! That’s it! It’s easy.

Vs.

Oaked vs unoaked. Warm climate vs. cool climate. Varietal vs. blend. European vs. non-European. Learn about common differences in wine, why they exist and how to know which to choose when. Sometimes an oaked Chardonnay is going to be the best choice (ie. with graham crackers and bri) but other times it’s gotta be unoaked (oysters). Sometimes you’re in the mood for cool climate whites… how do you know? This is a deeper dive into the world of wine perfect for all levels. Even beginners!

Varietal Tastings

One grape, many ways. You’d be shocked at how different one grape can be based on where it’s grown, choices the winemaker makes and how long it’s been in the bottle. let’s pick a grape and dive in. Taste through five examples of one grape and learn about its versatility so that any time you pick one, you know you’re getting one you like. Perfect for those with a little knowledge of wine but still beginner-friendly!
