Our story

Vin de Vin was founded on a simple belief: wine should be approachable, enjoyable, and shared. Since then we've created memorable wine experiences for individuals, private groups, businesses, and organizations. Every event is designed around one idea: great wine isn't about impressing people. It's about bringing people together, discovering something new, and enjoying the moment.

Meet Vicente

Wine has the power to connect people, cultures, and stories. For more than three decades, I've helped individuals and organizations discover exceptional wines through engaging, customized tastings. Along the way I've founded wine tasting groups in New York, on Boston's North Shore, and here in Portland. My style is easy-going and made to connect with every audience: educational without being intimidating, sophisticated without being pretentious. Every event is designed to educate, entertain, and create lasting memories. I've helped thousands of guests discover that wine isn't about memorizing facts. It's about sharing experiences.

Why Vin de Vin is different

Nearly anyone can host a wine tasting. Vin de Vin is different because every experience is customized to the interests, knowledge level, and goals of the audience, whether a Fortune 500 company, a private collector, a group of friends, or first-time wine drinkers. Guests leave with more than a list of wines they tasted: they leave with greater confidence, memorable stories, and a deeper appreciation for wine.
