Most client appreciation events are forgettable.
A dinner that blurs into every other dinner. A gift basket that ends up in the break room. And when it comes to wine, most of us are guessing at the shelf.
We get it. You want to thank the people who make your business run, and you want to actually enjoy wine, not feel intimidated by it.
Sugar Vine hosts private wine tastings, with premium ice cream, for your clients and team. And we work with you one-on-one to build a wine collection that fits your taste and your budget.

What We Do
Our ServicesThe Tasting Experience
A private, high-end wine tasting hosted by Makenzie for the people you want to thank. She teaches your guests how to taste wine the way a professional does, curates every bottle, pairs food if you want it, and finishes the evening with premium ice cream made for your event. You host. We handle the rest.The Cellar Build
Work directly with Makenzie to build a wine collection that fits you. We start with a taste assessment to learn your palate, then find wines that match your taste, your budget, and how you entertain. We'll even go to the wine shop together. Along the way you learn enough to buy with confidence on your own.
________________
How It Works
1. Book a taste assessment.
2. Tell us about your guests, or your taste and budget.
3. We curate it. You enjoy it.Your guests leave knowing how to taste wine and talking about your event for months. You open your own cellar knowing exactly why every bottle is there.

Her fix is simple: you already know how to describe ice cream, and that's the same confidence you can have with wine.She brings a consulting background and a longtime love of both to Sugar Vine. She holds the WSET Level 2 Award in Wines and is pursuing Level 3 at Capital Wine School, and has been making ice cream for nearly ten years, with an ice cream certificate from Penn State.
