Meet Your Host

I’ve been leading tastings, wine-paired dinners & wine events for many years, serving a cross-section of wine knowledge.  My style is relaxed & conversational – no pretension or lectures – just an elevated, enjoyable experience built around great wine and shared moments.

What Guests Say About the Experience

“Jeff made the entire evening incredible. We learned so much, laughed the whole time, and the wines he selected were perfect for our group.”

“The wine was flowing, the pacing was perfect, and everything felt relaxed and intentional.”

    Austin & Hill Country Wine Experiences – What We Provide

    Curated Poured Plated designs personalized wine experiences for private groups in Austin, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Dripping Springs, Fredericksburg, and the broader Texas Hill Country. These experiences range from guided tastings in your home or vacation rental to fully planned wine-pairing dinners, educational tastings, celebrations, and elevated private events. Everything is tailored to your group’s preferences, level of wine knowledge, and the style of experience you want.

    Our wine experiences are fully customized. We can focus on foundational tasting skills, regional exploration, varietal comparisons, blind tasting, food-and-wine pairing principles, or simply a fun, social, guided tasting with a curated lineup of wines. Every experience can be upgraded with food pairings, chef-prepared menus, custom themes, or immersive educational elements.

    Types of Wine Experiences We Commonly Deliver

    • Guided private wine tastings
    • Food-and-wine pairing dinners
    • Educational tastings (regions, varietals, styles)
    • Napa, Italian, or global-themed tastings
    • Blind tasting experiences
    • Birthday, anniversary, and celebration tastings
    • Corporate team events or retreat tasting sessions
    • Bachelor/bachelorette group tastings
    • Vacation rental / Airbnb tastings

    • Custom cellar tastings using your own bottles

    Who These Experiences Are Ideal For

    We work with couples, small groups, families, corporate teams, and visiting groups who want a private, personalized wine experience at home, on vacation, or as part of a curated event. Guests do not need wine knowledge — we design each experience to the group’s style, interest level, and the mood of the occasion.

    Typical Group Sizes & Locations

    Most wine experiences serve 4–20 guests, but larger groups can be arranged. We regularly serve Austin, Georgetown, Round Rock, Liberty Hill, Cedar Park, Leander, Dripping Springs, Fredericksburg, and the Hill Country corridor between Austin and Fredericksburg.
