Every bottle has a story- let’s hear yours.
Wine has a special way of bringing people together—not just around the dinner table, though that’s always a wonderful place to start. Beyond meals, there are countless fun and meaningful ways to enjoy wine with friends. This gathering is one of them: a celebration of the stories behind the bottles we share. Sometimes, the tale behind the wine is just as memorable as the wine itself.
Invite your friends or community to gather for an evening of storytelling through wine. Each guest brings a bottle of wine that holds personal meaning—maybe it’s the wine they sipped on a honeymoon, a bottle they picked up on a memorable trip, or a varietal that reminds them of someone they love. The twist? They also share the story behind the bottle.
Setting the Scene:
Location: Cozy and conversational—living room, backyard with string lights, or a potluck-style dinner setup.
Optional Touches: A printed “Wine & Story” card at each place setting where guests can write the name of the wine, the region, vintage, and a short sentence that teases the story.
How it Works: Each person takes a turn and pours a little of their wine around the group while they tell their story. If you want to elevate the experience, light snacks can be paired with each wine.
Why it Works: It encourages connection. Everyone leaves knowing more about each other. It creates a night full of laughter, nostalgia, and discovery.
It would be fun to finish with some light-hearted awards such as “Funniest Story,” “Most Unexpected Wine,” “Tearjerker Tale,” etc.
