Off-Site Events
Our off-site events are the ultimate in team building.
There is no idea too creative for our team to execute!
From Boston’s most picturesque roof tops, to LA’s largest conference centers, to New York’s toughest board rooms, we’ve organized and facilitated off-site wine tastings for groups of all sizes. Have a venue that you’d like to see filled up with people learning about wine? We can help with that!
Our tasting events include:
- A tasting of up to six wines for your group to enjoy
- A fully customizable experience: Rosé on the Roofdeck? We can do that. BIPOC Producers? You've found the experts.
- Glass rentals
- A post-event shopping discount for your group
- You keep any additional wine to gift or use for a future happy hour
- We can accommodate groups up to 200
Pricing
- With our on-location events, we have the ability to provide maximum flexibility within your vision, budget, and scheduling parameters. These events can be structured with 3-6 wines for tasting, and your Progressive Pours by Urban Grape Strategic Partner will advise as to how many bottles of each are necessary for your group size. Any leftover wine is yours to enjoy.
- These events are subject to a minimum per-person tasting experience fee of $55(minimum of $1300), including glass rentals, wine education materials, a wine educator, and a tasting assistant. Progressive Pours by Urban Grape has several qualified and personable wine educators on staff, ready to make your event unforgettable. In addition, enhanced and DEI-focused wine tastings with Founder TJ Douglas are available for an additional fee.
