Welcome to Trois Cépages!

Wine tastings are not just for the experts, and hosting a wine tasting party has never been easier!

Learning about wine doesn't have to be stuffy or pretentious, and you certainly don't need to know all the weird lingo you hear the professionals using. These at-home wine tasting guides provide everything you need to host a delightful event where you'll try a variety of wines and learn about them in the comfort of your own home - no wine knowledge needed! Whether your goal is to simply find new wines you like or to become more educated about the different types of wine out there, you’ve come to the right place.

These guides are great for both beginners and more seasoned wine enthusiasts alike! They will walk you through, step by step, the process of tasting wine and help to engage your guests with questions and discussion prompts. (It’s totally up to you how nerdy you want to get!)

If you’re more on the curious beginner side, I recommend starting with the Intro to White Wines or Intro to Red Wines guides. You’ll get to try some of the most well-known types of wine and start to build an understanding of where your personal preferences lie. After one of these tastings, you’ll be pleasantly surprised how much easier it is to order from a wine menu or pick a new bottle at the liquor store with confidence (which we all know can be a daunting task)!

About Me

Hi, I’m Kayla!

I’m a passionate wine enthusiast and the creative mind behind these at-home wine tasting guides!

My love for wine started in grad school when I was a broke PhD student living in France. On weekends, I would buy a 5€ bottle of wine from the grocery store to drink with my (similarly broke) friends over dinners we would all cook together. It didn’t have to be the best bottle of wine (or even a good bottle of wine), but I associated wine with good friends, good food, and memories I absolutely cherish. Since then, I’ve continued to learn about wine in my spare time, including earning my WSET Level 2 certification, which has only led me to appreciate it more and more.

A few years ago, I started hosting my own wine tasting parties for my friends and family. These have been amazing opportunities to sample lots of different wines that I likely wouldn’t get around to trying on my own. I especially enjoy sharing what I learn about these wines with my friends who are eager to hang out, have a drink together, and maybe find a new wine that they are particularly into!

These DIY wine tastings are what inspired me to create Trois Cépages. My goal is to encourage a fun, approachable, judgement-free space to learn about wine from the comfort of your own home!
