CORPORATE WINE EXPERIENCES
Wine brings people together.
Private wine experiences for teams, clients, retreats and corporate events — created and hosted by Joanne. Give people something to explore together, with good wine and conversation at the centre.
Plan Your Event
Make room for a different conversation.
Bring colleagues together, thank clients or give a conference or retreat a more personal moment. The wines give everyone a starting point; Joanne keeps the conversation moving.
Teams and retreats
A shared tasting that welcomes different levels of wine knowledge and gives people a chance to connect.
Clients and company occasions
A professionally hosted wine experience shaped around your guests, occasion and venue.
A format that fits the room.
Guided and themed
Explore a region or a topic together. Existing themes include BC wines, rosé, food pairing, Napa and Piemonte.
Casual and conversational
Stand-up events are welcome. Talk with Joanne about an informal tasting that works with your event flow.
For remote colleagues within British Columbia, ask about a virtual tasting using your company's video-conferencing service. Wine delivery and arrangements are agreed as part of the quote.
De-alcoholized wine flights can also be discussed. Some wines contain up to 0.5% alcohol; these are not automatically alcohol-free.
A clear plan, from first conversation to first pour.
