How to Host a Garden Party

Spring is finally here! Do you dream of lounging in the sunshine and sipping incredible wines with your closest friends? I have two words for you... Garden Party! 

Let’s be honest: the idea of hosting a wine tasting party sounds incredible. Flowing wine, laughter with friends, beautiful bites, a table that looks straight out of Pinterest... But when it comes down to actually planning the thing? Suddenly, it’s Tuesday night, your Google search history is full of “easy cheese board ideas,” and you're debating if three kinds of crackers are too many.

I’ve been there.

When I first started my wine club, I poured hours into each event. I’m talking about:​
  • Curated themes
  • Custom tasting guides
  • Food pairings
  • Decor decisions
  • Thoughtfully crafted playlists

It was magical…but also exhausting.

That’s why I created something for you: the Garden Party Done-For-You Wine Tasting Kit—aka everything I wish I had when I was just starting to host.

What’s Inside the Wine Tasting Kit?
This kit is your one-stop-shop for planning a dreamy, no-stress garden party wine night. Here's what you’ll get:

🍷 Printable invites (and quick text scripts if you’re a group chat kind of host)
🛒 Complete shopping lists, including a full Trader Joe’s run for both wine and snacks
🍽 Customizable pairing menus + tasting guides so you sound like a pro
🌸 Decor ideas + set-up tips that make your space look effortlessly beautiful
🎶 Note sheets & conversation starters to keep things interactive 
✅ Checklists to keep you organized and stress-free

You don’t have to spend hours on Pinterest or spiral into wine pairing rabbit holes. Just open the folder, grab a few bottles from the shopping list, and enjoy a night that’s as fun to host as it is to attend.

Connection > Perfection
And here’s the most beautiful part: it’s not just about wine.

I recently came across a New York Times article that unpacked nearly a century of happiness research. The biggest takeaway?

“Good relationships keep us happier and healthier.”

That’s it. Connection is the secret sauce. So when you host a wine night, whether it’s perfectly themed or delightfully casual, you’re doing something good for your soul (and your guests’ too).

Sure, the wine is a treat, but it’s really about carving out time to connect, laugh, and be together without the distractions of daily life!

Ready to Host?
If you’ve been craving connection or just needed a little nudge to finally host that wine night, this is your sign.

The Garden Party Wine Tasting Kit is available now! It’s everything you need to host a night your friends will be talking about for months, without all the stress of hosting.

So mark your calendar, gather your people, and let’s make wine nights easy, joyful, and actually fun to host.

Good wine is great, but good company? That’s what fills your cup. 🍷💛
