Private & corporate champagne tastings, Washington DC
Birthdays, dinner parties, holiday gatherings, client nights, team outings. I bring the champagne, the glasses and the stories. You bring the people.
Led by Lieven DeGeyndt, Champagne Master (CMC), Certified Specialist of Wine.
At home
Friends around your table and wines from small family producers in Champagne. We open them, talk about them, you sip champagne and create special moments.
Good for: Birthdays, anniversaries, dinner parties, girls' or guys' night, holiday get-togethers, a proposal weekend.
Plan a private tasting
At work
Eight to a hundred guests at your office, venue or offsite. Seated and guided, or a walk-around champagne station while people mingle. Make your corporate gathering the benchmark against which others measure their events.
Good for: Client appreciation, holiday parties, team nights, retreats, executive dinners, trade show suites. Remote team? I ship kits and host on Zoom.
Plan a corporate tasting
We partner with Sea Table DC to hold tastings aboard Cru Classé, their luxury sailboat out of The Wharf. Up to six guests, champagne poured on the water, and the city sliding by. The best anniversary or small client outing in DC. Tell me what you have in mind and I'll send you the options.
Ask about Sea TableStarting prices, bottles included. Your final quote depends on your headcount and the options you pick.
At home
Birthdays, girls night, boys night, date nights with friends.
From $775

Custom proposal for every group
Tell me the date and how many people, on the short form below.
I'll quickly reply with availability, any questions, or send a short proposal.
Pick a theme, or let me pick. Champagne 101, grower versus big house, blind tasting, Champagne against the world.
I show up with everything. Bottles, glasses, mats. You sit back and sip champagne.
Never a lecture or a pile of technical wine talk. That would bore me too. At your tasting, we’ll sip champagne, have a good time, and you’ll walk away with a few stories worth retelling at your next dinner. Champagne is my passion, and sharing it is my favorite part of the job. I’m there several times a year and have worked the last three harvests, so what I pour often comes straight from small grower producers I know. I’m a Champagne Master, and I run Sparkle-ist with my wife Rachel and our dog Piper.
No. You just need to enjoy bubbles. We start from there.
Takes two minutes. I'll get back to you right away.
