About us:
Created in 1999, the Chicago Wine Council provides guidance to the Tasting Clubs listed to the right with best practices on presentation, education, venue selection and wine picks.
The Wine Council is key when it comes to a successful event and in keeping events positive plus rewarding on all levels.
Membership to all Tasting Clubs is FREE . . . (join above)
we only ask Members and Friends to attend our Monthly Tasting Events to support us in our continued efforts to keep you informed and educated about wines available to you. We do not sell wine but we do taste many wines with hopes that we give you enough education that you can pick that next great bottle based on your knowledge not someone else.
Who can join?
Anyone and everyone can join our Tasting Club! We cater to the Wine Curious and the Wine Educated. Our Members are social, looking to network, hungry to learn about wines and like to explore the various hot spots that host our Chicago Tastings. How to sign up? . . . just fill out the Member box at the top and you will be added to our Member list, receiving our wine news, event info and specials by email.

How we conduct our Tasting Events:
Our wine tastings are interactive, fun and provide education while tasting great and unique wines.
The typical format for our monthly tasting event is to supply you a pen, wine glass and Tasting Diary as you enter the host venue on the evening of the tasting. The Tasting Diary we have constructed is a great way to chart the wines you taste and to score your wines. It also makes a great shopping list later on when stocking up your cellar or wine bar.
Freely roaming the various tasting stations, you can sample the many wines we have themed our event around. The tasting stations will have experts in the wines being served and will handle your questions besides point out what you should focus on when sampling. You can sample as often as you like and ask as many questions as you care.
Besides great wines, social attendee's and atmosphere, we always have tasty light appetizers at our events to complement the selected wines. Join us at our next tasting event - Cheers!
