Immerse yourself in the world of wine through an exploration of the sensorial and sensual elements of this pleasurable beverage. Each two-hour, interactive experience can accommodate up to 12 people and includes everything you need to enjoy your afternoon or evening: wine, food, stemware and customized teaching tools in my home or yours.

Sense & Sensuality
We’ll sip, swirl and savor our way through a tasting exercise designed to help you learn to distinguish among the various textural components in wine before turning our attention to a guided tasting of wonderful wines. Then, we’ll enjoy a selection of cheeses, meats, and other tasty treats to explore food and wine pairing principles as well as simply have a good time.

Sex, Wine & Chocolate
What more could you want? If Sense & Sensuality explores the savory side of wine, Sex, Wine & Chocolate permits a more decadent deep dive into food and wine. We’ll taste a wide range of dessert wines, expertly matched with delicious chocolate confections, while sinking into the sensual side of both.

Recent Praise

“Tracy is clearly in her zone of genius when she’s teaching about wine – and it’s such a delight to get to share in experiencing it.  I have been to wine tastings everywhere from Sonoma to Tuscany – and nothing prepared me for this. I know I’ll never look at (or smell, or taste) a glass of wine in quite the same way again.  Have you ever been curious about how you’d differentiate ‘tannins’ from ‘acidity’?  Do you see the description “notes of blueberry” on a wine label and wonder how they hell they come up with that? Ever been curious how to swirl a glass, or what flaws you are actually supposed to be tasting for when they open the bottle of wine at your table when you’re eating out? Tracy breaks it all down in a way that is easy and accessible … and has the chops to answer your more complex questions, as well.  The evening was exquisitely prepared, and she was able to answer all of our questions, and make us feel so at ease as she took us on a journey of wines.” ~Sophia

“I have been to many wine tastings all over the U.S. Tracy taught me more about wine and how to evaluate the taste than all the other tastings combined. It was a very relaxed and friendly atmosphere and Tracy readily answered all questions we had. I would recommend having Tracy at your next friend gathering for your own personal wine tasting adventure.” ~Helen
