Wine Tastings

The Bottle Shop by Bonnie + Bud offers intimate, informative wine tasting experiences in our Charlotte studio. Each tasting features a thoughtfully curated selection of small-production wines, with a focus on introducing guests to unique bottles they may not have seen or tried before. It’s a relaxed and approachable way to discover something new while enjoying an evening with friends, family, colleagues, or corporate teams.

The Experience

Each tasting begins with a welcome pour to set the tone, followed by a selection of small-production wines. Guests enjoy a seated, guided tasting accompanied by a tasting packet designed to enhance the experience. Warm, personal, and approachable, our tastings are the perfect way to discover unique wines available only through specialty sellers.
