ABOUT
BLISS & BLENDS
Welcome to Bliss & Blends, where wine, fun, and education come together for an unforgettable experience! Founded in June 2022, Bliss & Blends is designed for everyone – from seasoned wine aficionados to those just beginning their journey into the world of wine.
​
Our events are not just about tasting wine; they are about discovering and enjoying wine in a whole new way. At Bliss & Blends, we believe that wine should be accessible and enjoyable for all. Our unique events are crafted to provide elegant, interactive wine experiences that are both fun and educational.
​
At Bliss & Blends, we go beyond the basics. Learn the art of holding a wine glass, explore the effects of tannins on taste, and discover perfect food pairings to enhance your wine experience. But we don’t stop there. We integrate wellness into our events, offering insights into stress management, mental health, and mindfulness through yoga. Unleash your creativity with therapeutic art sessions, all while savoring exquisite wines.
​
Our events feature live entertainment to elevate your experience. Depending on the event, you might enjoy the sounds of a live DJ, a mesmerizing violinist, or a soulful saxophonist, adding a special touch to your evening.
