CLICK HERETO HOST A WINE TASTING PARTY TODAY!
Welcome to Vino di Savino, a privately-owned, Chicago-based wine tasting and wine education company. We are passionate about wine and passionate about sharing our knowledge with you! We bring the world of wines to your doorstep by organizing private, educational wine tastings in your home or place of business.
Through private wine tasting parties and events, it is our mission to educate others about wines from around the world, and to make the process fun, unintimidating and easy, all within a relaxed and comfortable setting. See our philosophy about wine.
1. TO LEARN, GROW, AND TEACH
OTHERS WHAT I KNOW
2. TO TRAVEL
3. WINE!
I am Kristin Savino,
President and Founder
of Vino di Savino.
I started my own wine
education and tasting
business back in early 2007 after successfully completing my Sommelier Certification through the International Sommelier Guild.
I felt compelled to share my wine knowledge with the world.
1. Swallow.
We encourage it. You won't see us spitting out wine unless it is corked or really bad. Some of us wine lovers just can't let good wine go to waste.
2. There's no place
for snobbery when it comes to wine. Wine tasting parties are
about experimentation, asking questions and having fun, not snobbery or uptightness. We encourage experimentation with different grape varietals, smelling and tasting techniques. Whatever works for you, do it!
3.Who cares if you like
4.We all learn best by doing. Sure, it's one thing to hear about wine, it's another to read about it, but quite frankly that's not enough! People learn best by actually tasting wine. It takes a lot of practice to get good at determining aromas, bouquets, and subtle nuances. The more you practice, the better you'll get. So let's start practicing!
white zinfandel!!
If you prefer heavily oaked chardonnays or boxed Franzia, then so be it! It's what YOU like that is important. We will cater to your interests and preferences and make suggestions to help complement and expand your palate.
Vino di Savino makes hosting a wine tasting in your home or place of business very easy. Simply decide who you want to invite and what you would like the focus of the party to be (a theme perhaps) and we take care of the rest. We provide recommendations and assistance from the initial invitations to the actual wine selections, topics of discussion, all the way to the appetizers you might serve, and how you and your guests can order the wines you like best.
