Private wine tastings
Private Wine Tasting at Home in Sydney
A hosted French and Italian wine tasting in your own home. Gather your friends, and we bring everything else: seven European wines, the glasses, the ice and the stories behind every bottle.
No passport required.
Duration
About 2 hours
Wines
7 French & Italian wines
Group size
8 to 300 guests
Where
Your home, anywhere in Sydney
Knowledge
Beginner-friendly
Your own cellar door, in your living room
Think of the best afternoon you had in Tuscany or Burgundy, then move it to your place. Gerardo pours, you sip, and everyone goes home knowing a little more about what they like.
Birthdays
Skip the restaurant booking. A tasting at home turns a birthday into an occasion.
Hens and bucks parties
Something a little more grown-up, with a sabrage finale that steals the show.
Dinner parties
Start the night with a tasting, then carry your favourite wines through to dinner.
Anniversaries and milestones
Toast the moment with wines from the places you have travelled together, or plan to.
Festive season gatherings
Friends, family and neighbours, with somebody else doing the thinking.
Just because
You don't need a reason. Plenty of our guests simply love a good glass of wine.

Your host
Meet Gerardo Di Iorio
Gerardo grew up on Ischia, a small island off the Amalfi Coast, in a family that has made wine for generations. He started out in wine distribution in Italy before bringing the wines he loves to Australia.
He is the co-founder of DiVino, and he hosts every tasting himself. Expect stories, a few laughs and some very good wine.
