Enjoy an evening with one of our sommeliers
Corporate and Private Events
A private tasting at the Wine School of Philadelphia is a unique and amazing event. It takes educational wine tastings to a whole new level.
First, a Master Sommelier Instructor creates the perfect wine list for your group from our private wine cellar. Then, if you like, our Executive Chef will craft a menu to compliment the wines.
You and your event guests will relish in sampling and learning about wine, guided by one of our top Sommeliers. Even better is the location: Our building is a beautifully detailed Victorian mansion with a deep history in the wine trade.
The next three pages offer the basics of our private events.

The Executive Tasting Wine Tasting Event
“A wonderful introduction to the world of wine which the participants still talk about favorably over six months after the event.” PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
The Executive Tasting Event consists of a two hour tasting of fine wines (or beer, if you like). The wines are hand selected from our private wine cellar, and specifically tailored to your tastes. For this type of event, we suggest going with a specific theme, typically focussing on a single country (Italy, France, Spain, or the States are all excellent options). This event will be lead by one of our top Sommelier Instructors.
Our events are unique because of the amount of care and thought that goes into each and every one of them. They are designed to entice, excite, and too educate.
The sommelier will craft the event and select the wines from the private wine cellar a few days prior to the event. The wines will be delicious and lovely, but also occasionally obscure and intriguing.
The Corked & Forked Pairing Event
" A wonderfully innovative, seasonal journey of culinary delights" Patrick McGovern, bestselling author of "Ancient Wine".
Our Corked & Forked Event is an exciting and unique food and wine pairing experience. A executive chef and sommelier team up to tailor the perfect food and wine experience for your event.
The event is a two hour food and wine pairing phenom, lead by one of our leading Sommelier Instructors. You will never have a more enjoyable learning experience than this.
Our events are unique because of the amount of care and thought that goes into each and every one of them. They are designed to entice, excite, and too educate.
There are no menus or winelists at the Wine School. The Chef will craft the menu around the seasonal bounty of our local markets the morning of your event. The sommelier will source the wines from our private wine cellar soon after.
If you are looking for a more uniform and corporate experience, we strongly suggest looking elsewhere. You have plenty of options.
