Swirl & Savor: A Guided Wine Experience

Visiting San Diego or looking for a unique date night, girls' night, or group activity?

My signature Swirl & Savor guided wine tasting experience is offered at SpringHill Suites Chula Vista (Eastlake area) for $65/person through Airbnb Experiences!

The 1.5 hour experience includes a flight of 4 wines: white, rosé, 2 reds, guided tasting instructions, interactive and engaging group facilitation, and a fun wine trivia challenge with prizes.

Join a public group tasting or book a private session if you'd prefer an experience exclusively for your group. This is the perfect option for guests who want a night out instead of hosting an experience at your home!
