How it works
Register for the Virtual Wine tastings once we open ticket sales. Registration for Virtual Wine Tastings is March 1 – April 30. 2023.
Prior to the event, you will receive your wine direct from the winery with food pairing suggestions and information about the wines. You and your friends or family share the experience, it makes a great excuse to get together.
We will send you the Zoom link to call in the night of your virtual tasting. The best part about these virtual tastings, besides the wine of course, is the unique opportunity to hear from an expert that often includes the winemaker and/or owner of the winery.

“The Art Meets Wine in the High Desert charcuterie class and virtual wine tastings last year created an unexpected opportunity for me to throw a unique house party for close friends and to shine as a hostess. Invitations sent for this year!”
“We loved learning about the art and science of wine making and we were amazed at having so much access to the owner and the winemaker.”
“My husband and I, with two other couples, bought two tickets to one wine tasting virtual event. With six bottle to share, the three couples met at our house and enjoyed a delightful cost effective wine tasting party! The six of us tasted from three bottles of wine with each couple getting one bottle of wine for later.”
“The virtual wineries allow you to choose among exceptional wines that you may never have the opportunity to taste. A fantastic way to go wine tasting!”
“It was really great to hear the owner of the winery share his extensive knowledge about wine making in the state of Oregon. We hosted this experience with another couple and it made for a magical evening.”
“Call three or four gal pals and host the virtual wine tasting in the comfort of your home. We picked a winery we had not had the opportunity to visit or sample their wines. It was a fun filled evening of education and laughter!”
“My husband, son and daughter-in-law, and I, had a great time shopping for our charcuterie items and creating our board for our fun and interactive wine tasting. We enjoyed the whole experience from the comfort of our home and will definitely do it again.”
