Our Mission

At The Adventurous Sip, we believe that there is an adventure behind every bottle of wine. Our mission is to help you discover the stories of the grapes behind the wine and how they made it into your glass. With our private wine tastings, wine education classes, online wine classes, and personal concierge services, we aim to make every sip of wine an adventurous one. Let us take The Adventurous Sip together and explore the world of wine. If you're curious to try some new wines, we are here to help you start!

Private Events & Classes
