PRIVATE WINE TASTINGS IN BC
The wine tasting comes to you.
A private, guided wine experience hosted by Joanne in your home, hotel, vacation rental or private venue. Bring your people together; I'll bring the wine and the conversation.
Based in Whistler and available throughout British Columbia.
Plan Your Tasting
Good wine. Good company. Something to talk about.
There's more to the evening than opening a few bottles. I'll introduce the grapes, places and stories behind the wines, with plenty of room for questions, conversation and discovering what you enjoy.
The tasting is guided, interactive and built around your group. You don't need wine knowledge to join in — just curiosity.
Make a reason to get together.
Birthdays and anniversaries. Ski vacations and special weekends. Family gatherings, time with friends and private celebrations.
Whether you're marking something special or making more of an evening together, we'll find a tasting that suits the occasion.
What would you like to explore?
We can build the tasting around what interests you. A favourite region, wines you've never tried, or a little friendly blind tasting — there's room to make it yours.
Places, grapes and discoveries
Explore a wine region, compare wines or go off the beaten track with less familiar grapes. Past themes have included rosé, sparkling wine, Napa and Piemonte.
Taste, compare and share
Try blind tasting games or explore how food changes the wine in your glass. Tell me what you're curious about; we'll shape the experience together.
A few details. Then I'll take it from there.
