Everyone likes to learn more about wine. Make your next corporate or social event stand out!
Pauly makes wine approachable and event planning simple.
Here's how it works:
- You invite a group of up to 10 or up to 20
- You select the venue (your office, home, event space)
- You select the format best suited for your event (see below)
- You select the theme of the tasting (see below)
Pauly does the rest!
I provide a warm up wine as guests arrive.
I provide the featured wines
I print the tasting sheets
I bring the stemware
Guided
I will host a fun, yet structured presentation of 6-8 wines on the theme of your choice – engaging your guests and encouraging discussion and participation.
Guests typically arrive up to 30 minutes in advance where they are greeted with a fun warm-up wine while mingling until everyone is in attendance.
Once everyone is in attendance, guests are seated and I lead them through a structured tasting in a presentation format. Kinda like a wine seminar, where group engagement is encouraged.
The tasting itself runs about 45 -60 minutes. The event with warm-up, prestation, and wrap up lasts about 1.5-2 hours.
As mentioned, I supply the wine, tasting sheets. and stemware. The difference in the pricing is as follows, with price-points of the wines going up with each tier:
$475, warm-up wine, 5 featured wines
$550, warm-up wine, 6 featured wines
$750, Champagne warm-up wine, 6 featured wines
Interactive
This is just as informative as the Guided Tasting, except guests are not seated and are encouraged to mingle and socialize, pacing their flight at their leisure.
I’ll set up a tasting station in a convenient location with 6-8 wines and people walk through the wines at their own pace. As guests arrive they will be welcomed with a warm-up wine. When they are ready, they can come back to the table and move on to the next wine.
This format is exceptionally popular as a social mixer. People are encouraged to talk about the wine with myself or others, but allows for staggered guest arrival and social mingling.

DIY
Want a host your own wine event like a Pro!? Or wan to gift a tasting to someone? Pauly to the rescue!
This package is the perfect gift for the client, relative, or friend who would love a wine tasting, but can never find the time. This is basically a tasting kit in a box, but no Pauly!
You pick the theme, and I’ll deliver the wine, tasting sheets, and even the MC tasting notes and tips. You get to try your hand at leading your troops in at a time and way that works for you.
> You, and you alone, are the only true expert
on what you taste.
> Wine is more than merely a beverage. Wine is a
snapshot of what was happening in a specific
vineyard in a specific place made by
individuals who crafted it to be shared with
others a world away.
> The more you know, the more you know you
don’t know
> There is no room for pretentiousness in wine
– it’s just “smooshed” grapes!
> Wine is always best shared with others
> The best glass of wine is the one in
your hand!
We will select a theme geared perfectly for the nature of your event. Whether you want to WOW your guests with show-stoppers, or delve more deeply into a specific varietal, region, or winery - each tasting will steal the conversation at the office the next day! You can even schedule monthly or bi-monthly tastings to build momentum. Here is just a sampling some of the tastings I've hosted:
> Basic Flavor Profiles 101
> Classic Wines of Europe
> The Essentials of Italy
> Classics of Cali
> I HATE Merlot; No You Don't! (Cab vs Merlot)
> South of the Equator
> One Varietal, 6 Regions
> Off the Beaten Path Regions and Varietals
> Big Reds
> Que Syrah, Shiraz
> Or whatever you want to learn more about!
