Frequently asked questions...

Can I invite more than 12 people?

Yes, of course you may invite more than 12 people. There will be an extra charge for this as we will require more bottles of wine. Please choose a theme and fill out the number of guests you intend to have over. This way I can send you a quote for the adjusted price.

What happens if a wine is corked or off during the event?

I’ll bring one extra bottle of wine to replace a corked/ off bottle. However, since we cannot predict which wine may be corked/ off, it will be a new wine that is not on our slated agenda. The wine will fit the wine theme of the evening.

The only time when we cannot replace wine for an event is when a aged wine is choosen for the theme (8+ years old, for example). This is simply a risk when purchasing cellared wine

What happens if I change my mind about themes or number of guests, etc?

During discussions, you are free to make as many changes to the event plan as you see fit. However, payment is due 11 days before the event. At that time, no more changes will be allowed.

When is payment due?

Payment is due in full 11 days before the event.

What happens if I forget to pay by the due date?

If payment is not made in full 11 days prior to the event, it will be cancelled.

We know how busy things can get! So we’ll send you a reminder before the due date so this doesn’t happen.
