The First Pour…

Established in 2009, The Vine Life has served wine enthusiasts of all levels and backgrounds looking to expand their palettes and overall love for the greatest juice the world has to offer.

 What began as casually informing relatives of the finer points of wine tasting while on yearly vacations with family, grew to become something far more exciting and interactive through the addition of informal tastings, and food pairings for family dinner night in wine country.

At the urging of a most trusted relative, Christopher Williams, a Sommelier with nearly 20 years of experience, initially offered guided tours through California Wine Country for friends and clients looking to take part in a much more relaxed, involved, and fully relatable venture into the world of wine tasting and all that it had to offer.

Ultimately, The Vine Life was born.

Striving to remove overwhelming pretentiousness from the intimidating task of learning how to properly taste wine while on tour, Christopher took a much more conversational approach to give each participant a real opportunity to understand how to taste in order to develop and gain confidence in both taste profile preferences and purchasing choices.

As the idea evolved, so did the creativity in services offered. Over the past 10 years The Vine Life has platformed into specialized services in a number of wine adjacent offerings that encompass the full vineyard lifestyle.

“Wine is one of the most civilized things in the world and one of the most natural things in the world that has been brought to the greatest perfection, and it offers a greater range for enjoyment and appreciation than, possibly, any other purely sensory thing.”

~Ernest Hemingway
