The Best Virtual Wine Tastings I've Experienced

The Best Virtual Wine Tastings I’ve Experienced

I know I have been missing visiting the wineries, and I know many of you have too. Wineries, especially in California, have taken a big hit since the closures and lockdowns. However, with the power of technology, wineries and winemakers have taken on the challenge and have brought the wine tasting right to your home. You are able to participate in Virtual Wine Tastings from anywhere with your favorite wineries and winemakers. I definitely have been participating in as many as I possibly can during the pandemic and I strongly encourage you to try them out as well.

Gary Farrell Wine Co.

I’ve been a fan of Gary Farrell Wines for as long as I can remember. The Healdsburg Winery is a great spot to visit in person, but for the time being I highly recommend participating in their live Virtual Wine Tasting. I personally had the best time attending their virtual tasting and got to enjoy it with some amazing people.

Each experience is focused on a flight of three Gary Farrell Wines and will be hosted online by one of their Estate Sommelier. Book your session on their website here.

Justin Wine

I’ve had the pleasure of doing a virtual wine tasting with Justin Wines and it was awesome. I enjoyed it over Valentine’s DAy so the wines were paired with FABULOUS Chocolates. I highly recommend trying a virtual tasting yourself to see how remarkable he is. Check out the Justin Wine website here.

The amazing Wine & Chocolate pairing guests were guided through during the IG Live Virtual Tasting.

Sangiacomo Wines

I attended Sangiacomo Family Wines virtual tasting with some colleagues to spread the word about their new curated tasting experience. I am partnering with them on a blogger wine club, so I attended the tasting with a few participating bloggers. We had the pleasure of tasting four fantastic wines with the guidance of one of Sangiacomo’s friendly and knowledgable sommeliers, all via Zoom! And check out Steve Sangiacomo (shown below) and me in our matching Sangiacomo hats, the cutest right?!

The tasting was guided by one of Sangiacomo’s incredible Sommeliers, Kara Joseph, who is currently an Advanced WSET. She led us through a tasting of the Sangiacomo 2018 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay, 2017 Roberts Road Pinot Noir, 2018 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, and 2017 Oakview Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.

The Sangiacomo Family Wines Virtual Tasting Experience is a lovely way to gather with others, learn, and enjoy Sangiacomo’s delicious wines. Book a virtual tasting with Sangiacomo Wines here.
