Be Matched - A Wine Matching Event

Event Summary
Get ready to swirl, sip, and discover your perfect wine match in this fast-paced, flavor-driven tasting adventure. Inspired by the fun of speed dating, guests will explore 8–10 wine styles from around the globe, each poured to spark curiosity, ignite conversation, and deliver those “aha” palate moments. Perfect for flavor-seekers and the wildly curious, this experience lets guests taste, rate, and reveal which wine styles they naturally gravitate toward.

Led by Advanced Sommelier Lamar Engel, the evening flows as follows:

• 6:30 PM – Doors open
• 6:45 PM – Wine Matching begins
• 7:30 PM – Wine Walk-Through
• 7:45 PM – Event concludes

By the end, guests won’t just find a favorite wine. . . they’ll discover an entire style that matches who they are as a drinker. Cheers to your newest wine crush.
