Host a Wine Tasting with Red White & Cru

The most fun you can have learning something new

A wine tasting is a wonderful way for friends, coworkers or organizations to connect, laugh, and learn something new. They also make for magical customer prospecting or customer relationship building events.

With a Red White & Cru wine tasting, you and your guests will enjoy a front-row wine tasting experience hosted by WSET Level 3 certified wine educator Erik Johnson. You’ll learn about and taste some of the finest, yet most affordable, wines from around the world, all in a casual, personalized environment. And, since we don't sell wine, there isn't any pressure to buy what you tasted at the end of the event. The focus of every wine tasting we do are fun and learning . But mostly fun.

We can execute any format or theme you have in mind; however, most of our tastings are more casual affairs, suited to mingling and chatting between pours.

What does a wine tasting cost?

The cost to host a wine tasting can be more affordable than you might think. All you pay is for the facilitator’s time and the cost of the wines included in the tasting. On average, a tasting for 10 or fewer people is between $400 and $600 while a tasting for 11 - 20 people is between $650 and $800, depending on the price of the wines selected.

Do you cater or provide food?

We highly recommend serving food with the tasting. Most events choose to provide their own food. We can provide light hors d’oeuvres or charcuterie for an additional fee, but do not provide fully catered meals. We can provide pairing and serving suggestions if you are planning to provide the food or can connect with you with one of our trusted partner caterers if needed.

Do I have to know anything about wine to host a tasting?

Absolutely, positively not. Whether you are a wine enthusiast or just beginning your wine journey, our tastings are designed to captivate and educate in an approachable and enjoyable way.
