Give your friends or family a digital gift card to participate in a food and wine tasting experience. Many luxury hotels and restaurants offer gourmet experiences that feature their best-selling dishes paired with their best wines. This activity makes for a great birthday gift because aside from the delicious food and relaxed ambiance, they can also find out which wines pair best with different types of cuisines.

If you have an introverted loved one whose idea of a great birthday party consists of staying cozy at home, you can treat them to a wine tasting at home experience. We have several options for kits featuring different styles of wine. Your special birthday someone can learn all about wine while enjoying it from the comfort of home. Why not include a virtual chocolate tasting experience or other snacks to go along with your gift? The options are endless. 

Last-minute gifts: Food and wine tours

The United States has some of the finest wine regions from Napa and Sonoma Counties in California to Charlottesville in Virginia and Finger Lakes in New York. Vineyards in these areas offer guided wine tours to let you experience not just their wines but also the sweeping vistas of the surrounding areas. They are some of the best things to do in the Bay Area, New York, and beyond.

Food and wine tours don't just offer elaborate wine tastings — they're also known for fine dining experiences, luxury accommodations, and unique experiences. They can savor different types of cheese, enjoy a private chef at their disposal, and have a personalized wine tasting at a vineyard. The options are truly endless when you give gourmet digital gift cards.

Strictly for adults: Cocktail masterclasses

If you and your best gals enjoy bar hopping and having fun with a cocktail glass in your hand, then our mixology classes might just be the best virtual gift cards you can give your friends. Hosted by masters of mixology, they can learn how to mix, stir, and shake their cocktails at home! Are you fond of mojitos and margaritas, or are you someone who prefers an old-fashioned over a strawberry daiquiri? You might be surprised to find that the next time you come to your friends’ parties—they’ll be making your favorite cocktail just the way you like it! 

To make sure your friends have the liqueurs, spirits, and essential tools they need for each session, our mixologists will be sending them cocktail making kits before the classes start. Look forward to a well-stirred or shaken cocktail the next time your friend hosts a party!
