4 Wine Tasting Party Catering Ideas

Wine tasting parties are fun and on trend. Have yours catered this spring with Shirley's Catering: 703-239-0102!

Host one of the most memorable and fun gatherings of your social circle this spring with a catered wine tasting party. Shirley’s Catering has wine experts who not only can help you develop a theme around your wine selections, but create transcendent hors d'œuvres and other food and decor selections that pair beautifully with your wine theme for the evening. Generally speaking, we recommend choosing a theme and then focusing on 3 to 5 different wines that fit that theme, with your menu and décor revolving around those.

Consider some of these catered wine tasting party themes we’ve helped host in the past that have received rave reviews:

1. Wines from One Vineyard

If you have a favorite vineyard, choose some of that vineyard’s finest wine choices to highlight at your party. If you don’t have a favorite already, ask your friends, or call the wine experts at Shirley’s Catering for some great options. You could choose a local vineyard, or one from any region you like.

2. Regional Specialty Wines

We love catering wine parties like this. You can select a few of the finest wines from any region in the world, from France to Australia or Virginia to Oregon—anywhere that has a thriving vineyard scene. With a party like this, you can pair the wines with excellent foods from the same region to get the full regional experience.

3. Wines from Around the World

Instead of focusing on just one region, maybe do a passport wine tasting party where you and your friends “travel” from one wine hotspot in the world to another in the course of an evening. Use wine passports, décor, and, naturally, the food and wine, to set the scene. These are some of our favorite catered wine tasting parties!

4. A Wine Time Machine

Instead of geography, focus on a specific wine vintage. You can keep it local, broaden it to world-wide or regional or any other kind of theme, but focus on wines from a specific era. Thrown in some vintage costumes and décor and you’ve got a fun party that nobody will forget!

Call Shirley’s Catering today and we’ll help you come up with the most amazing wine tasting party you can imagine, using these, or some of your own unique ideas: 703-239-0102.
