Go ahead and sip a sample of the adventure ahead…
Your journey into liquid libations will be led by a master in the beverage of choice as our instructors maintain industry certifications including but not limited to The Court of Master Sommeliers, Cicerone Certification Program, and Saké Education Council. Each course includes a tasting section with hand-picked selections by RHI’s experts that strictly focus on education rather than a point of sale for a specific brand.
Our custom beverage experiences are designed to accommodate small groups to large private and corporate events, or can even be held virtually via Zoom. Our team will work with you to create a unique and interactive custom beverage experience that includes tastings of the libation of the night. These courses are fun, entertaining, educational and perfect for team building, a night with friends, bachelor or bachelorette parties, wedding pre-events, charity fundraisers or a night with your pals.
