Thank you to our friend Kelly of Panache Lifestyle, who wrote this lovely blog post about how to throw a Wine Tasting Party.

We got the idea to throw this amazing party on our honeymoon. While in Italy, we went to an incredible wine tasting at a 600-year-old vineyard in Siena with a man named Pierluigi Giachi, owner of the Tenuta Torciano Vineyards. He has such a passion for wine and was so much fun to learn from, we thought, let's throw a party so we can teach our friends everything Pierluigi has taught us!

How it works

How to throw your own Wine Tasting Party

1

Bring a bottle

Every guest brings a bottle of wine under $20.

2

Taste blind

Each bottle goes straight into a numbered bag, so every tasting is blind.

3

Vote

The number is used on the official voting board. Everyone gets two votes — holiday stickers work well — placed under the wines they like best.

4

Crown a winner

The wine with the most votes wins a prize. In case of a tie, there's an official dance-off.

It sounds like a lot of fun — thank you again, Kelly, for thinking of us with this great idea for your birthday!
