How to embark on your Corporate tasting experience...
The Process
Pick your date, time + place
I’ll need YOUR help to find the best wine selection for you! So we’ll first schedule a lively chat to find out what makes your group tick.
Settle on the perfect date, time, and venue where there are tables, chairs, wine glasses and water for your guests. And hey, if things get fancy and more wine glasses are needed, we might have to whip out our rental magic!
No matter what, your fabulous event will be set in stone once a non-refundable deposit dances its way into the wine’s coffers. So let’s get this party started, shall we?
Hold your horses! Schedule a chat with Joanne first
Before diving into the action, let’s make sure you schedule a chat with the one and only Joanne! She’s the expert when it comes to getting the party started. Once you’ve had that awesome tête-à-tête, you’ll be on your way to an unforgettable event!
I’ll coordinate with you or your events coordinator to make sure the venue and I have everything ready on the day. If you select a virtual tasting, we’ll ensure all the wines are delivered on time to the other BC locations.
Invitations!
Now, it’s time to gather your colleagues and treat your taste buds to some exquisite vino.
Just a small request, though: let’s keep the fragrances light and breezy. We want those wine aromas to shine, so please leave the strong colognes and perfumes behind.
Joanne will request your company’s logo to make everything look official on our day!
Invoice and payment
When it’s time to settle the bill or send a deposit for booking, we’ve got a couple of options for you to choose from. You can gracefully hand over a classic cheque or swiftly make an e-transfer. If you prefer the convenience of using a credit card, no worries! We do accept them, but please note that there will be a small transaction fee applied.
The full payment is due on the day of the event. So, make sure you’ve got your financial ducks in a row, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Get ready to toast to a fantastic occasion and let’s make sure the payment part is as smooth as silk!
Party time !
Let’s do this!!!
Joanne will arrive early to coordinate the set up for party time!
Generally, our party lasts 1.5 hours with some time after for more engagement!

Wine Prices
Our wine prices are as dynamic as the flavours they hold, depending on the number of bottles needed and the premium styles you crave. For example, for 14 attendees – we’ll need only 1 bottle of each wine. But when the excitement grows beyond that, we’ll double the pleasure with two bottles of each wine!
I usually purchase wines from a range of price points – say from $25 – $100 per bottle excluding taxes. At this amount, expect the wine bill to add another $900. But if you have 15 or more attendees, expect the invoice to reflect an additional $1600 splurge. Give or take. It’s all about celebrating life in style!
And, if your crew is dreaming of indulging in ultra-premium wines, we can amp up the bottle spend accordingly.
Fear not, my energetic friend! Once we’ve had a chance to chat and align on your event’s details, I’ll whip up a package that spells out the cost breakdown with utter clarity.

Wine Selection
A selection of 8 wines will get us through 1.5 hours nicely! I like to pick one or 2 producers or regions you are familiar with and then, WHAM! I hit you with eclectic wines and regions you’ve never heard of!
So, get ready to raise a glass and toast to an unforgettable wine experience!
De-alcoholized Wine Fights
This juice was first fermented into wine before having the alcohol removed. That means these gems can have tannin and flavours to philosophise over just like the real stuff.
Prices range here too. But earmark around $120 per guest for these specialized offerings.
De-alcoholized Flights
Virtual Tastings
Virtual Tastings
We’ll have all those great wines shipped to each of your co-workers. This adds approximately another $40 per person. Give or take.
Not to worry! When shipping to each person, we usually bring the total number of bottles down and this also brings the final bill down too.
