Private wine dinners can be as small as 10 guests or as large as 250 guests. The smaller size events are normally done in private homes or at an art gallery. Wine dinners at a restaurant or a wine/appetizer event at a private home, business office or art gallery require a minimum of 30 guests.

The event can be any night of the week or even a weekday afternoon. The specific venue will normally dictate the availability. If you are flexible regarding venue, GWG can normally accommodate your day of the week request.

Wine Tasting dinners are normally at a restaurant and are conducted in a sit-down format (after a welcome reception). The dinner is normally 4 courses and guests remain in their seats throughout the meal. A winemaker or special guest from the winery attends. Each food course is paired with a different wine.

Wine/appetizer events are normally held at private homes, business offices or art galleries. The format is stand-up and circulate with  tables/chairs. Appetizers (either plated or passed) are provided throughout the event and all of the featured wines are available to taste throughout the event. Thus, it is less structured and allows for mingling and networking. A winemaker or winery guest can be in attendance or GWG’s Peter Kerr can conduct the event solo. With Peter hosting the event alone, this allows the wines to come from more than one winery and be a part of a chosen wine theme (California PNO’s vs. Oregon PNO’s).

In general, the more time to plan, the easier it is. Events at public venues such as restaurants or art galleries require a minimum of 60 days but starting to plan further out is even better and helps to ensure a successful event.
