Our story

It started with dinners, corks, and a curious hound.

Wine Hound is a husband-and-wife team passionate about wine, food, and bringing people together over both. Years of tasting, travel to wine regions, and 50+ events grew into a mission: help wineries create experiences people remember, without the snobbery.

Both holding the WSET Level 3 Award in Wines (passed with merit), we bring that expertise to every table we host.

Jerry the basset hound
Why "Wine Hound"

Meet Jerry, the original Wine Hound.

Our logo features Jerry, our basset hound. He's been part of nearly every tasting we've hosted and has the best nose in the house. His playful vibe represents everything we aim to bring to wine: fun, warmth, and great taste, without the snobbery.

No question's too basic: that's the point.

Tell us the occasion, the headcount, and the date, and we'll come back with a format and a quote. Wineries and wine-trade teams: we'd love to talk apps too.
