Custom Classes
Custom Classes
A custom class is a great way for folks to spend time with their friends or colleagues, or for wineries to bring more visitors in the door. Classes are generally casual and interactive, with participation encouraged (although a more formal setting can be arranged). They also offer a way to learn about wine in a non-intimidating environment. Custom classes and house parties are perfect for:
Wineries looking for creative ways to build traffic, increase sales and recruit new club members
Business networking and team-building
Alumni associations
Birthdays
An enhancement for dinner parties
An alternative to book club
Gals’ or guys’ nights, or bridal showers and bachelor parties…or how about a class for the families and bridal parties before the Big Event
Or just as fantastic indoor activity when the weather is sour!
Classes and parties are generally built around a theme. Below is just a smattering of the kinds of custom classes I can offer. Contact me directly to discuss your goals and budget, and we will come up with a class that fits!
