F.A.Q

We will speak over the phone and decide on the night that works best for both of us.
The sooner we speak, the sooner we can confirm.
Hosting is subject to availability (spots are limited and will be filled on a first come, first served basis).

Once we have confirmed the day, the tasting time is something we can decide together.
Once that time is set, we ask that guests arrive 15 minutes early to get situated.

We request a child-free evening to focus on the experience. However, we ultimately leave this up to our host.
Please note that only those 21+ will be served and counted as a guest for the evening.

Absolutely! If that is something you would like to coordinate, let us know the details so we know where to go.

No, if we are at your home this will not be a problem.
If you host at a private club, restaurant, or other venue, this will need to be confirmed with them to ensure they are comfortable with us serving our wines.

We get it, life happens. If you need to cancel, please let us know how to do it in advance as possible so we can try to fill your spot, ideally at least two weeks prior.

If you cancel within two weeks of the event and we are able, we will come pick up the wine that we will have shipped to your home.
If that isn't possible, it may be necessary for you to pay for shipping back to us in Italy if you aren't able to reschedule.

We understand plans can change, but to create the best experience we do ask for at least 15 adult guests, if this does happen let's keep communication lines open so we can figure out what is best and how to help each other!

We would need space in a fridge for any white and sparkling wines. Otherwise, no kitchen access is necessary on our end.

Of course!

No, you don't. While we prioritize our Wine Club Members while scheduling the tasting events, we do offer the opportunity to select guests who are not members of the wine club as well.

Yes, absolutely. Email Jazmine at wineclub@poggioailaghi.com for more information, join online on our website, or ask your wine expert during your tasting.

Yes, the wine experts will be there to assist you with this, all wine purchases will be shipped from Italy.

We cover the cost of standard shipping, insurance, and duties from Italy to the US. Standard shipping takes between 25-30 days from the date of order to arrive at your home. 
If you or your guests would like expedited shipping, this is available for an additional fee.
Costs vary depending on the size of the order, but expedited shipping typically takes about 7 days.

Yes, the minimum shipment is 6 bottles. We can ship in increments of 6, 8, 12, 15, or 18.

Wine Club members may host this experience completely free of charge! For hosts who are not members of the Wine Club, we ask for a €250 total contribution. Should you decide to become a member of the Wine Club, that fee can be waived!

This depends on each group and the cadence of the evening, however generally tastings last about 2 hours.

Yes! We will provide our Aceto Balsamico di Modena PGI (20-Year Aged Balsamic Vinegar), Lacrime Viola (onion balsamic vinegar), Frantolano BIO (EVOO), Olio al Peperoncino 666 (spicy oil), and Olio al Tartufo (white truffle oil).

Between 4-6 wines from our collection. 

We will send you and your guests a thank-you email with follow-up information from our Wine Club Manager so you have a direct contact. Details will also be sent out about tracking orders, pairing suggestions based on their purchases, and information about joining the Wine Club.
Our Wine Experts will remain available for questions and assistance and perhaps some fun before leaving you to enjoy the rest of your night.

Have fun. This is about creating memories, not perfection. If you have any questions or need ideas, our team here in Italy and the Wine Experts who visit you are available to assist.
