About this event
*** Address provided upon booking as this is a secret location ***
Imagine walking into a space immediately enveloping you in warmth and comfort.
You step into a private home studio, an intimate retreat designed for the curious craving something beyond the ordinary.
The atmosphere is a delicate balance of rustic charm and refined luxury—layered Persian rugs stretch across the floor, as a crackling fireplace mingles with the soft flicker of candles burning. It’s a setting where time seems to slow down, with every detail whispering to thoughtfulness, quality, and exclusivity.
A collection of rare, handpicked wines await you —a far cry from the typical sterile, corporate wine-tasting setup. These bottles aren't choices off a standard list. They’re selections that you won’t find anywhere else. The wines presented are curated for a truly personalized experience, each chosen not only for its rarity, but its ability to evoke emotion and intrigue.
As you settle in, surrounded by a small group of guests who share your appreciation for the finer things, a sense of relaxed luxury sets in. Unlike large, impersonal tastings, this experience focuses on connection—between the wine, the host, and the guests. There’s no rush, no pressure to sip and move on. This is an event where the wine is savored, discussed, and explored at your own pace, with no distractions from the outside world. Your host, Laura, a passionate expert with deep knowledge serves as your guide, but not in the way you might expect.
Rather than standing behind a counter offering a lecture, Laura is part of the conversation, engaging with you as an equal. You’re encouraged to ask questions, share impressions, and explore the nuances of each wine together. There’s a sense of camaraderie in the air.
The tasting flows naturally, with no formal structure or rigid schedule. A selection of small bites pairs effortlessly with the wines, each dish crafted to complement the flavors before you. Think artisanal cheeses, delicate charcuterie, smoked nuts, and fruits that highlight the delicate profiles of each wine. These aren’t afterthoughts; they are as carefully considered as the wines themselves, designed to elevate the experience without overpowering it.
There’s no artificial "luxury" here, just a deep appreciation for beauty in all its forms. It’s a space that encourages you to slow down, savor, and connect with the people and the wines around you. There’s no rush to finish your glass. Instead, the wine is an experience to be enjoyed in the moment, with no obligation to hurry.
You’re not just drinking wine—you’re experiencing it in its purest, most intimate form. There’s no other space quite like it in the wine industry, where luxury meets warmth, rarity meets comfort, and discovery meets friendship.
By the time the evening winds down, the fire has burned lower, the candles flicker one last time, and the conversation drifts to the memories made over those rare, exceptional bottles. It’s an experience that feels timeless, something you’ll carry with you long after the last sip has been taken.
