The Wine Tasting That Comes to You
Guided Wine Tasting in Jacksonville, FL
Call (904) 659-1415 — we bring the tasting to you.
A guided wine tasting is the heart of what we do: a host pours a flight of private, small-vineyard wines that are new and high quality — bottles your group probably hasn't tried — and walks everyone through each one, what to look for, what to smell, and what to taste. It's an evening of small pours, good conversation and a few new favorites, brought to your home or a private location you choose. You don't need to know anything about wine; you just need to enjoy it.

Why This Works So Well in Jacksonville
A guided tasting suits Jacksonville because it turns a big, spread-out city into a cozy evening at home. Jacksonville is the largest city by land area in the contiguous United States, so a night out can mean a long drive each way for everyone in your group. A tasting at your place means nobody has to drive — and the host comes to you.
The warm climate and outdoor lifestyle mean many homes have screened lanais, patios and pool decks that make natural tasting spaces for much of the year. The Beaches communities host vacation rentals and visiting family who love a relaxed evening in, and the master-planned communities of St. Johns and Nocatee have a strong habit of neighbors getting together over a few glasses.
Hosting Tips
- Keep wine out of a hot car or garage before the tasting — heat spoils wine fast.
- In warm weather, chill whites, rosé and sparkling well, and serve reds slightly cool rather than at warm room temperature.
- If tasting outdoors, set up in shade and keep bottles in an ice bucket between pours.
- Offer water and food alongside the wine, and plan a comfortable guest count for your space.
- Arrange safe rides home for any guest who drinks.
