Hosting a wine tasting at home might sound like something reserved for Napa wine caves and people who use “summer” as a verb—but I’m here to tell you, it’s actually super doable. Whether you’re in the St. Louis Metro area or joining me from your kitchen table across the country, you can host a wine tasting that’s equal parts fun and fancy (without needing to know the difference between tannins and terra cotta).

If you’ve ever thought, “That sounds fun, but I’m too busy / not fancy enough / not a wine expert,” this post is for you. Let’s break down how easy it really is—and what’s in it for you when you host a wine tasting at home.

You don’t need a Pinterest-worthy house, a perfectly curated cheese board, or a sommelier certification. I guide you and your guests through 6 wine and cheese pairings, while helping you create an experience that’s relaxed, engaging, and low-key memorable.

• If you’re local to the St. Louis area, I’ll bring the a Napa tasting experience directly to your living room.
• If you’re hosting virtually, I’ll join your group via video conference and walk everyone through the wines together—no need to leave the house (or the yoga pants).

Need a step-by-step breakdown of what hosting looks like? I’ve got you covered. Check out Hosting a Wine Tasting with WineShop at Home for a behind-the-scenes look at how simple it is.

🍪 1. Add a Cookie Macaron Port to Your Sampler for Just $3

No, that’s not a typo. When you host a wine tasting, you can add a bottle of our award-winning Cookie Macaron Port to your sampler for only three bucks (normally $25). It’s dessert in a glass—sweet, indulgent, and totally worth hoarding in a secret mom stash.

Why it matters:
You get something special and exclusive that’s not available to the average shopper. If you’ve ever had decision fatigue at checkout, this takes the edge off—literally.

🍷 2. Unlock 30% Off Your First Wine Club Shipment

When you host a tasting and fall in love with the wines (which you will), you’ll get 30% off your first Wine Club shipment with promo code WINECLUB30. That means curated bottles delivered to your door—minus the markup, shipping hassle, or trip to the store.

Why it matters:
Life is chaotic enough without having to figure out what wine pairs with a Tuesday. Our Wine Club does the thinking for you, and this discount makes it even more of a no-brainer.

🥂 3. Try a Bottle of Yellowstone, On Us (limited time offer)

This is not just any bottle—it’s one of our limited-edition premium wines, included as a free bonus when you order your sampler by August 31, 2025. You’ll either receive the Yellowstone 1883 Reserve Blanc de Blancs or the Yellowstone 1883 Reserve The Bear Red Wine, depending on the sampler you select.

Why it matters:
You’re not just tasting wine—you’re trying premium, small-batch bottles you can’t find on store shelves. And we’re footing the bill for one of them. You’ll feel a little fancy… without spending a cent extra.

Who Should Host a Wine Tasting?

Short answer? You. Long answer?

• You love hanging with your girls, but hate stressing over the details
• You need a reason to wear the dress that’s too cute for school pickup
• You want to feel like the effortlessly cool hostess without actually putting in that much effort
• You like wine and want premium wine at a discount. (No shame if that’s the real reason.)
