Pairing: a wine & cheese tasting for singles

Some things are simply better together. The right wine with the right cheese. The right person at the right moment. The trick, in both cases, is knowing what you're actually looking for.

Guided by a wine expert and a professional matchmaker, and held at a private space in Charlottenburg, this event is designed for people who want to meet others in a way that actually feels good. No prior knowledge required, just bring your curiosity.

What to expect

We'll meet at Nicki's, a cosy private location, and spend the afternoon getting to know each other over a guided tasting led by Berlin-based wine expert Annie Jia.

You'll try 3 wines: a pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, and chardonnay, paired with cheese and fruit.

Halfway through, we'll share a short reflection on what wine and dating have in common.

The format

This is not a drop-in event. The group is intentionally small and gender-balanced, which allows for real conversation, and enough time to get a sense of who someone is. Your hosts are dedicated to high-quality wine and high-quality singles.

The atmosphere is relaxed, but there is just enough structure to avoid awkwardness, especially if you tend to be more introverted!

The afternoon timing is intentional: if you meet someone you'd like to keep talking to, there's time for a walk along the nearby Ku'Damm or an early dinner nearby.

Your hosts: Alysia Tofflemire is Germany's only certified matchmaker and founder of Alto, a boutique matchmaking agency for internationally-minded singles across Europe. Annie Jia is a Berlin-based wine expert with deep expertise in wine & hospitality from Shenzhen to Paris.
