Now that COVID numbers are ramping up again and we’re used to getting creative at keeping ourselves entertained while staying home, we have a great way for you to stay social while staying safe with virtual wine tastings!
Find a couple of friends and invite them to join you virtually as you all enjoy and try some new wines and learn all about them and the vineyards that make them.
In Good Taste
Get worldly with In Good Taste’s virtual wine tasting that guides you through a flight of 6-8 wines from different wineries around the globe. During the tasting, you’ll learn high-level knowledge about how to taste wines, where the wines were harvested, and fun facts and wine trivia to keep it interesting!
All you have to do is go to In Good Taste’s website, book the tasting two weeks in advance, order your flight, and plan your pairings. They even have a super convenient feature that allows you to purchase the flights for everyone joining and then send them to different addresses.
Priority Wine Pass
Priority Wine Pass has the largest selection of premium wine tasting options available online. Their tastings are fully customizable where your party will get to meet with wine experts, wine owners, winemakers, and sommeliers allowing you to learn all about the wines you’re tasting.
To get started you can fill out a form on Priority Wine Pass’s website and they’ll help you choose a winery perfect for your virtual wine tasting party. Then you’ll schedule a date and time and provide them with the addresses they’ll need to send the wine to. After that, the winery will provide a Zoom link and it’s all fun from there!
