How the room runs

The operational shape behind the tasting.

01

Arrival

The first pour and guest setup are ready before the host begins.

02

Guided flight

The tasting has enough structure to create discovery without becoming a lecture.

03

Close

Food, glassware, leftover wine, and cleanup responsibilities are clear before booking.

The experience

What this event can do

A polished wine tasting for individuals and private hosts, with a warm, social pace shaped around the celebration and guest list.

What the proposal should include

  • Wine theme recommendation
  • Sommelier host
  • Glassware and service planning
  • Food pairing options
  • Setup and cleanup assumptions

Planning notes

Private events usually need a warmer host style and a simpler run of show than corporate rooms.

Apartment and building rules matter. Confirm freight access, guest arrival, glassware, cleanup, and outside alcohol expectations early.

A four-to-six wine flight works for most private groups, especially when food is included.

Questions

What planners ask first.

Can this happen in an apartment?

Yes, if building rules and setup access allow it. The proposal should capture timing, guest count, glassware, food, and cleanup assumptions.

Is this only for companies?

No. Corporate remains the primary specialty, but private groups can request a more social, host-led tasting.
