Event: TasteWine developed this staff celebration and team-building event for 35 people at their new office, creating a self-guided tour of flavorful foods paired with California wines. TasteWine also led competitions for teams to solve the mysteries of the blinded wines.

"The response we have received from our wine tasting event in October has been phenomenal! With two similar meetings on back-to-back weekends (not to mention several of the same VIPs attending both), it was a huge challenge to diversify the event and make it stand out. You offered a truly sophisticated evening for our clients and your expertise took so much off of our shoulders as planners."

- Amy Whitney & Kelly Connolly, Meeting Planners
Global Planners

Event: Two separate events for 50 guests each, at different San Francisco hotels. Each tasting highlighted California wines and TasteWine created lively competitions for guests to discover the blinded wines.

"From start to finish TasteWine was a fantastic partner in the brainstorming, planning and execution of a flawless event. Their willingness to integrate our company's culture and recent highlights into the event made it one of the most enjoyable yet."

- Michael Koenig, Director, Human Resources
