A distributed tasting room network
We take the vineyard to the living room.
Instead of flying to wine country, invite the winery over. Choose a producer, gather your friends, and host a private tasting at your own table.
How an evening works
Four steps between a Saturday night and a winery in your house.
01
Choose a winery
Scroll the feed until a winery, a region or a single bottle stops you. Pick the tasting you want in your house.
02
Pick a night, invite friends
Set the date and the headcount, place a refundable deposit, and share your private event page. Guests RSVP there.
03
The wine arrives
The winery ships the tasting collection straight to your home in one shipment. Nothing to source, nothing to guess.
04
Taste together, buy what you love
The site guides the evening bottle by bottle. Guests mark the wines they want, and the winery ships the order.
The deposit, plainly
A deposit holds your date. A good night gives it back.
Hosts place a refundable tasting deposit — roughly $175 to $650, set by the winery and the collection — so the winery isn't shipping expensive wine into a room that never gathers.
- Your deposit reserves the winery, the date and the tasting collection.
- If the group's purchases reach the winery's threshold, the deposit is refunded or credited under that tasting's terms.
- A successful tasting costs the host little or nothing.

The tasting night
You don't need to be a sommelier. The site leads the room.
Bottle by bottle, everyone sees the vineyard, the varietal, the vintage, the tasting notes and the food pairings — and the winemaker can appear on video to introduce the wine in their own words.
“You're about to taste our Cabernet Sauvignon. This vineyard sits on red volcanic soil, a thousand feet above the valley…”
Why it spreads
Tonight's guests are next month's hosts.
One host
Someone who loves wine invites eight couples over for a Saturday night.
Sixteen guests
