Enjoy the hot New Orleans summer by sitting
back, relaxing, and enjoying a glass of wine. With Copper Vine's new private wine tasting experience and
private wine dinners, a guided tour of the vineyards is brought directly to
your table in a historic building in the heart of the Central Business
District.
This experience highlights the collaboration
between Copper Vine's wine steward, Lydia Kurkoski, who has been a sommelier since
the tender age of 21, and its executive chef, Amy Mehrtens, who perfected her
culinary art at Commander's Palace. Each of the 13 themed wine experiences entails
fabulous food and wine specifically tailored for each guest. Both the wine
tastings and wine dinners are held in one of the more private, laid back, chic
dining areas of the restaurant.
The private or semi-private wine tastings must have a minimum
of 4 guests. They begin at $35 per person plus applicable tax and gratuity. The
wine dinners can accommodate groups from 8-50 guests and include a custom designed
menu with wine pairings from around the globe. Prices vary.
According to Lydia Kurkoski, "Good wine serves to give voice
to the Earth, allowing the drinker to listen in on the story of each wine's
terroir and vinification. We designed our wine experiences to illuminate each
aspect of character that creates the makeup of the wine in each glass. The
result is an enriched, enduring enthusiasm for the world of wine we hope to
send home with each of our guests."
Copper Vine's wine tastings make becoming an oenophile more
approachable for everyone. Let their experts help you discover the wonderful world
of wine without leaving your seat!
