Imagine this: you’re sitting comfortably in your favorite space, surrounded by friends or simply enjoying a quiet moment to yourself, when a carefully curated selection of exceptional wines arrives at your table. Each bottle has been chosen specifically for your palate, your preferences, and your curiosity. This isn’t just wine tasting: it’s a personalized journey through flavors, stories, and discoveries that you won’t find anywhere else.
That’s exactly what awaits you with Katy Moore Wines’ personalized wine tasting experiences. Far from the overwhelming rows of bottles at your local liquor store or the generic flights at typical tasting rooms, these bespoke sessions are designed around one person: you.
Meet Your Wine Guide: Katy Moore
With over 25 years of experience in hospitality and the wine trade, Katy Moore brings both expertise and genuine passion to every tasting experience. As a certified epicurean and self-described Bon Vivant, she’s dedicated her career to helping people discover wines that truly speak to them: not just what’s trending or heavily marketed.
Katy’s approach is refreshingly different. She believes wine should be accessible, enjoyable, and free from intimidation. Whether you’re just beginning your wine journey or you’re a seasoned enthusiast looking to explore new territories, Katy meets you exactly where you are and guides you forward with warmth and knowledge.
What Makes Our Tastings Truly Personal
Tailored to Your Unique Palate
Forget one-size-fits-all wine flights. Every personalized tasting with Katy Moore Wines begins with understanding you: your taste preferences, dietary needs, budget considerations, and wine goals. Are you drawn to crisp, mineral whites that remind you of ocean breezes? Do bold, earthy reds make your heart sing? Or perhaps you’re curious about natural wines but don’t know where to start?
Katy takes all of this into account, crafting a tasting experience that feels like it was designed just for you (because it was). Each wine selection comes with its story, tasting notes that actually make sense, and insights that help you understand not just what you’re drinking, but why you’re enjoying it.
Beyond Commercial Wines
Here’s where things get exciting: the wines you’ll taste aren’t the same bottles lining grocery store shelves. Katy sources unique selections from across Ontario’s wine landscape, focusing on small-batch producers whose production levels are too low for major distribution channels. These are wines with soul: crafted by passionate winemakers who prioritize quality over quantity.
You’ll discover low-intervention, sustainable wines that showcase their terroir authentically. Think of it as accessing a secret collection of liquid gems that most wine lovers never get to experience.
Choose Your Tasting Adventure
Virtual Wine Tastings: From Anywhere to Everywhere
Prefer to sip from your own space? No problem. Katy’s virtual wine tastings bring the full experience directly to you, no matter where you are. Whether you’re in Toronto, Vancouver, or anywhere in between, you can enjoy a guided tasting session from the comfort of your own space.
The wines are shipped directly to your door ahead of time, complete with tasting notes and pairing suggestions. During your virtual session, Katy walks you through each selection via video call, sharing stories about the producers, explaining what makes each wine special, and answering all your questions in real-time. It’s intimate, educational, and surprisingly interactive.
In-Person Experiences: The Full Sensory Journey
For private, offsite tastings at your chosen location, in-person experiences offer an even more immersive journey. Your own intimate setting allows you to engage all your senses: seeing the wine’s color and clarity, experiencing its aroma fully, and discussing your impressions in real-time with an expert guide.
Private, offsite sessions can accommodate various group sizes, from solo explorers seeking personal wine education to couples celebrating anniversaries, or small groups of friends looking for a unique shared experience.
Perfect for Every Occasion
Intimate Date Nights
Planning something special? A personalized wine tasting creates an unforgettable date experience. Katy can curate wines around a theme: perhaps exploring wines from a region you’ve visited together or discovering new styles that complement your favorite cuisine. It’s romantic, educational, and creates lasting memories.
Educational Sessions for Wine Enthusiasts
If you’re passionate about expanding your wine knowledge, these sessions are pure gold. Dive deep into specific regions, grape varieties, or winemaking techniques. Learn to identify flavor profiles, understand food pairings, and develop your palate with expert guidance. You’ll walk away with confidence and knowledge that enhances every future wine experience.
Memorable Group Gatherings
Hosting friends or family? A personalized tasting transforms any gathering into something extraordinary. Whether it’s a birthday celebration, holiday party, or just because you love good company and great wine, Katy can design an experience that keeps everyone engaged and entertained.
Corporate events also benefit from this unique approach. Team-building through wine education creates connections and conversation in ways that typical corporate activities simply can’t match.
What Sets Katy Moore Apart
Cutting Through the Marketing Noise
Let’s be honest: the wine industry can be overwhelming. Flashy labels, marketing speak, and endless options make it difficult to find wines you’ll actually enjoy. Katy cuts through all that noise, focusing solely on quality, character, and your personal preferences.
You won’t hear pretentious wine jargon or pressure to appreciate something that doesn’t speak to you. Instead, you’ll receive honest, accessible explanations that help you understand and appreciate what you’re tasting.
Customization for Every Need
Dietary considerations? Katy has you covered. Her selections include options for those seeking low or no alcohol wines, low sugar varieties, or wines with minimal to no sulfites. She understands that everyone’s needs are different and works to ensure everyone can fully participate in the tasting experience.
Building Long-term Relationships
This isn’t a one-and-done experience. Katy builds relationships with her clients, understanding how your tastes evolve over time and continuing to introduce you to wines that match your developing palate. Many clients become part of the membership program, receiving ongoing personalized recommendations and exclusive access to rare finds.
The Membership Advantage
For wine lovers who want to continue their journey beyond a single tasting, Katy Moore Wines offers an exclusive membership program. Members enjoy significant discounts on purchases, complimentary birthday bottles, and most importantly, ongoing access to Katy as their personal wine shopper.
Imagine having a wine expert in your corner for every occasion: holiday dinner parties, gift-giving, romantic evenings, or just Tuesday night dinner. Members can reach out anytime for recommendations, pairing advice, or help selecting wines for any situation.
Making It Accessible and Enjoyable
One of the most beautiful aspects of Katy’s approach is how she eliminates barriers that often intimidate potential wine lovers. There’s no judgment about what you do or don’t know, no pressure to develop a “sophisticated” palate, and no requirement to speak wine fluently.
Instead, you’re invited to explore, ask questions, and discover what brings you joy. The focus is on pleasure, connection, and genuine appreciation rather than performance or status.
