About Vin de Vin

Bringing people together through great wine since 1997.

Our Story

Vin de Vin was founded in 1997 with a simple belief: wine should be approachable, enjoyable, and shared with others.

Since then, Vin de Vin has created memorable wine experiences for individuals, private groups, businesses, and organizations throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Every event is designed around one idea—that great wine isn't about impressing people. It's about bringing people together, discovering something new, and enjoying the experience.

Why should you hire Vin de Vin?

I have nearly 30 years of experience and have conducted tastings and events for thousands. These include events for corporate clients, universities, nonprofits, and private groups. Vin de Vin events are educational yet fun and customized—not cookie-cutter.

I hold the Certified Specialist of Wine designation from the Society of Wine Educators. I am also a Champagne Master and German Wine Scholar, bestowed by the Wine Scholar Guild. I hold an MBA from George Washington University in Leadership and Management and a Bachelors degree in business from Bryant University.

Our Philosophy

At Vin de Vin, we believe wine should be approachable, enjoyable, and never intimidating.

Whether someone is opening their very first bottle or has been collecting wine for years, every experience is designed to build confidence while making learning both engaging and fun.

We don't believe wine is about memorizing facts or using complicated terminology. We believe it's about discovering new wines, sharing great conversations, and creating memorable experiences with others.

What Makes Vin de Vin 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 working with a Fortune 500 company, a private collector, a group of friends, or first-time wine drinkers, every event is designed to be engaging, educational, and enjoyable.

Guests leave with more than a list of wines they tasted—they leave with greater confidence, memorable stories, and a deeper appreciation for wine.
