Description
Three wines. One purpose. Easier conversations.
There’s something about sharing wine that softens the edges of difficult topics. It signals that this is a gathering, not a meeting. A moment of connection, not an obligation.
Our wine pairing service brings three thoughtfully selected wines to your Setting the Table dinner – custom curated by Dylan’s Wine Cellar to complement your meal, suit the pacing of the evening, and create an atmosphere of warmth and openness.
What’s Included:
- Three premium wines selected specifically for your dinner
- Pairing consultation – we ask about your family’s preferences (reds vs. whites, sweet vs. dry, adventurous vs. classic)
- Delivery to your home before your session
- Tasting notes and serving suggestions
- Enough for generous pours throughout the 2-3 hour conversation
- If you book the chef upgrade, will work directly with the chef as well
The Pairing:
Typically, we suggest:
- A light, welcoming wine to start (sparkling or crisp white)
- A fuller-bodied option as the conversation deepens (red or rosé)
- A comforting finish for the end of the evening
But we customize based on your meal, your family’s tastes, and the season.
Why It Matters:
Wine won’t make the hard parts easy, but it helps create the conditions for honesty: a shared ritual, a reason to pause, a reminder that even serious conversations can be held with grace and even joy.
Pricing: $100 per person (all participants 21+)
How It Works:
After you add this upgrade, you’ll receive a brief questionnaire about wine preferences and your planned menu. We’ll curate your selection and deliver to your dinner with simple serving instructions.
Note: This upgrade requires all dinner participants to be 21 or older, or for non-drinking family members to be comfortable with wine being served. We’re happy to discuss non-alcoholic pairing options if that better suits your family.
