Our Core Values
We operate on core values that help foster a sense of community and appreciation for wine:
Education – Encouraging continuous learning about wine, its production, history, and tasting methods. This helps members develop a deeper appreciation and understanding of the craft.
Community – Creating a welcoming space for people to connect over a shared love of wine. It’s about building relationships and forming friendships through regular events, tastings, and discussions.
Respect for Diversity – Recognizing that wine is an incredibly diverse product, with varieties and styles from all over the world. We value exploring this diversity, promoting inclusivity, and welcoming different tastes and experiences.
Quality – Advocating for the enjoyment and appreciation of high-quality wines, whether through regular tasting events, wine-pairing dinners, or even vineyard tours. This value encourages members to taste with intention and discernment.
- Fun and Enjoyment – We prioritize the enjoyment of wine as an experience, making it a fun and engaging part of life rather than something too formal or exclusive.
These values guide how members engage with each other, share knowledge, and foster a culture of mutual respect and enjoyment.
