Unique and interactive tasting experiences that captivates your audience.

Wine Tastings

TAP TO LEARN MORE

Our wine tastings are what we built our business on, and continue to impress guests as our most popular events. Your host, a certified sommelier, will guide you through the evening’s tasting and leave you with new knowledge and perhaps even your new favorite bottle in a fun, casual, conversational atmosphere. Leave stuffy, formal wine tastings in the past and get to know some of our phenomenal producers in a fresh, vibrant new light from the comfort of your home.

Beer Tastings

TAP TO LEARN MORE

Hanging out over beers after work is something we can’t wait to get back to—and in the case of all-remote teams, is a rare treat. Bring the group together for a themed tasting that means something to your team, whether it’s a West Coast IPA tasting to welcome your California colleagues, a craft lager tasting to break out of your macrobrew rut, or a collection of seasonal winter, spring, summer, or fall sippers, we can help you find the perfect accompaniments to your happy hour.

Spirits Tastings

TAP TO LEARN MORE

When was the last time you really tasted a spirit before it was shaken or stirred in your cocktail? Let us know the kinds of cocktails you like to drink, and we’ll match you with an expert mixologist who will guide you through the notes and characteristics of the spirit at hand, explain the best flavors for pairing, and craft the evening’s libations especially for your group’s tastes.

Book your tasting

“The Virtual with Us team made our events so easy! We had a shipping delay, and to make sure that our guests had wine for the tasting, they locally sourced the wines and had them dropped off the day of! That’s just one way that they made this a worry-free event. The sommeliers were wonderful! Funny, informative, and knew how to get everyone laughing and talking, when Zoom fatigue is getting to all of us. We will definitely be using Virtual with Us again! Thank you so much for the wonderful time!”
