For a more educational deep-dive tasting experience than the reception, we have a wine-pairing presentation, where your sommelier presents 3-6 Finger Lakes wines paired with cheese, chocolate, charcuterie, or artisan bites. This is a sit-down presentation, where guests would be provided with a flight of wines and paired foods presented with wine education.

Presentations can take place in your home, accommodation, work place, or requested event space.

For the ultimate wine pairing experience choose our new option where your sommelier pairs mediterranean-inspired bites and appetizers from Bali-Cravings! (see instagram video of a past experience HERE)

Young Alumni Event was Wonderful!

Your presentation was terrific – so engaging, interesting, timely, and fun! I loved how you spoke directly to the students not only as a wine expert but also as an alum of the college. You related so well to the audience. I enjoyed watching the students’ response to smelling, tasting, and thinking about the wine and food pairings. You gave them an excellent education that they’ll be able to use for a lifetime.

A Very Special Birthday Celebration

All of us were very impressed with the planning, detail, and execution of the family event for my wife’s birthday. Ba-li’s food with your pairings was totally amazing. All the wines were excellent!

Private In-Home Wine Presentation with Freshly Prepared Mediterranean Bites and Appetizers

We had the most incredible private food and wine pairing, beautifully curated by Experience! The Finger Lakes. Their resident sommelier guided us through a tasting of five exquisite, chef-prepared dishes, each paired with outstanding local wines. The event was engaging, educational, and delicious. Every bite and sip was a delight, and the evening felt like a true celebration. I highly recommend this experience—it was a highlight of our trip.
