WHAT IS AN ADOBE-STYLE IN-HOME TASTING?

This program is all about bringing Sonoma to you. We love partnering with our guests and members to host wine tastings, bringing our latest release wines to your home to experience and enjoy. Guests at these tastings learn a bit about our estate vineyards, winemaking philosophy, and Three Sticks hospitality.

WHAT DOES THE HOST PROVIDE?

  • Wine lovers & wine glasses - calling all chardonnay collectors, pinot enthusiasts, and wine-curious friends!
  • Venue – Be it your home, backyard, or country club, you determine what space is most comfortable for you & your guests.
  • Food - whether a cheese & charcuterie board, your favorite appetizers, or more robust dinner fare, a selection of nibbles is the perfect complement to the gathering.

WHAT DOES THREE STICKS PROVIDE?

  • Wine - for our members & longtime supporters, we will provide wine as a token of appreciation for your years of patronage. For those newer to Three Sticks, there is a minimal charge to cover the cost of wine samples.
  • Three Sticks Ambassador - one or two of our team members will provide a tasting experience filled with stories, educational collateral and exceptional service.
  • Planning support – we will provide guidance on invitations, food pairings, and event layout. This experience should be as much fun for the hosts as the guests!

IS THERE A MINIMUM PURCHASE REQUIREMENT FOR THE TASTING?

There is no minimum purchase requirement. This tasting is an opportunity to introduce our wine to new collectors. The wine selection served at the tasting will be available for purchase by you & your guests. Typical sales at an Adobe-style in-home tasting is around 2-3 cases (24-36 bottles).

IS THERE A MINIMUM OR MAXIMUM OF WINE-LOVING GUESTS?

We have found the ideal group size for this experience ranges between 15-25 people. We can work with you to find the right fit for your space. An intimate group provides a more engaging experience, whereas a larger group tends toward a more festive atmosphere.

IS THERE A PREFERENCE FOR THE DAY OF THE WEEK OR TIME OF DAY?

Afternoon and early evening typically are the most requested times to host a tasting. The date is based on mutual availability.

WHEN WILL YOU BE IN MY REGION?

We travel throughout the year, sharing our wines around the country. Most recently, we visited New York, Fort Lauderdale, Chicago, Las Vegas, Seattle, Dallas, and Palm Springs to name a few! Let us know if you are interested, and we will see when we will next be in your area.
