Full details
How it works
Choose from two flights of three wines (750ml bottles): Women in Wine, which features wine from women-owned and operated winery, or Producers of Color, which features wine from Black and POC wineries.
The Urban Grape will arrange for the delivery of wine packages to your participants. During your event, your UG sommelier, Alyssa Champagne, will lead you through the process of tasting progressively, while discussing the regions, production methods, and producers' stories. UG's approach to wine education is as inclusive as the wine on their shelves: there are no wrong answers, no dumb questions, and no wine snobs allowed. Ask your burning wine questions throughout, and get to know your own palate just a bit better!

Located in Boston, the Urban Grape is one of the most successful and award-winning wine stores in America. UG is a Black-owned and woman-owned small business dedicated to building community through beverage. The Urban Grape is known for being the first store in the world to utilize the Progressive Scale, a unique system of organizing wines by their body, rather than varietal or region. The store concept is simple - DRINK PROGRESSIVELY - and is so popular with novice and experienced wine drinkers alike that The Urban Grape has become one of the most successful independently-owned wine stores in the US.
