Between coworkers, in-laws, teachers, kids, spouses, besties and beyond, adulthood comes with a long list of people to buy for during the holidays, and it can veer from festive to unscheduled stress test faster than you can say elf-on-a-shelf. Nearly half of U.S. consumers now plan to gift experiences this season—an acknowledgment that memories tend to travel better than boxes. With that in mind, I’ve curated selection of wine- and spirits-centric experiences I’d happily give (and very happily receive), from hands-on tastings and winemaker-led weekends to aspirational, bucket-list adventures.
Domaine Carneros Art of Sabrage (Napa Valley, California), $125 per person. This sparkling-focused experience teaches guests the history and technique of sabering a bottle of bubbly. Guests will taste the best of Domaine Carneros’ portfolio alongside a selection of local artisan meats, cheeses and caviar. Ideal for anyone who believes wine experiences should include some drama.
