Wine Tasting at Home in Burlington: Your Living Room, My Tasting Room
You bring the friends. I’ll bring the tasting. This holiday season, I’m offering something I’ve wanted to do for a long time: a private wine tasting at home, right here in Burlington. No reservations to chase, no one stuck as the designated driver, no shouting over a crowded dining room — just your favourite people, your own table, and five wines worth your glass.
After 25 years in hospitality and the wine trade, my favourite moment is still the one where a room discovers a wine they didn’t expect to love. A tasting at home gives that moment room to happen.
What Happens at a Tasting at Home
I arrive with everything we need. Over about two and a half hours, we taste five wines together, each paired with a canapé I’ve chosen to bring out its best. As we go, I’ll explain what’s in the glass: where it comes from, how it’s made, and why it works with the food on your plate.
It’s relaxed, not a lecture. Ask anything. Disagree with me. By the end of the evening, you’ll know how to put together a pairing yourself, and you’ll have a few new favourites to bring to your next dinner.
What’s Included
- Five wines — chosen around your guests’ tastes.
- Five canapés — one matched to each wine.
- A guided conversation — on how food and wine work together.
- Tasting notes — for every wine we pour.
- Up to 10 guests — all 19 or older.
Choose Your Wines
The price is $130 per person, or $1,300 + HST for a group of 10, and the wine is included. My Classic selection features wines up to $25 a bottle — the kind of honest, balanced, low-sugar wines I bring into Ontario because they overdeliver for the price.
Feeling festive? You can upgrade to my Premium selection, with wines up to $40 a bottle, for $75 + HST, or to my Reserve selection, with wines up to $60 a bottle, for $175 + HST.
Dates and Booking
Tastings run Thursday to Saturday from November 12, with a daytime seating at 2:00 pm or an evening seating at 6:00 pm. I serve Burlington and nearby, including Oakville, Waterdown and Milton. I’m taking just 8 bookings before the holidays, so dates will go quickly.
Booking is simple:
- Reserve online with a $300 deposit.
- I’ll be in touch within one business day to pick your date and talk through your guests’ tastes and any allergies.
- The balance is due 7 days before your tasting.
A Gift Worth Giving
Know someone who’s impossible to shop for? A tasting at home makes a memorable holiday gift for a host, a couple or a team. Get in touch and I’ll help you set it up.
The Takeaway
The best wine moments rarely happen in a rush. They happen around a table, with good food, good company and someone to tell you why the glass in your hand tastes the way it does. This season, let me bring that experience to you. Questions? Call, text or WhatsApp me at 289-795-8313, or email info@katymoore.ca.
Cheers,
Katy
Please enjoy responsibly. All guests must be 19 or older.
