Seriously Fun Wine Tasting

game-style guided wine tastings that make your social gatherings more memorable

Philosophy

At Simply Social Sips, we believe wine tasting should be as enjoyable as a game night with friends — with plenty of twists, turns, and laughs.

Our philosophy is simple: make wine tasting fun, welcoming, and approachable. We bring this to life by turning each tasting into an interactive game that engages your senses, sparks friendly competition, and makes learning about wine feel seriously fun!

Tasting Experiences

All tastings are a 1 hour game-style guided wine tasting of 3 wines at your location, within the DC metro area (DC, Maryland, Virginia).

Tastings include everything you need — the wine, tasting mats, game boards, stemware, and of course bragging rights — so no setup or cleanup needed on your part!

Tasting packages are based on group size. I will work with you to curate a custom tasting experience that will include selecting a wine theme/style/region of your choice or you can opt for a blind tasting.

All you have to do is come ready to sip, play, and discover!

About

It all started with that first sip, and wine has become my go-to drink of choice ever since.

Hi, I’m Puja. What drew me to wine is the opportunity it gives you to explore - different wine varietals, regions, producers - all within the bowl of your glass.

Over the years, I’ve been to one too many wine classes and events, where the seriousness and pretense made the tasting experience intimidating and not enjoyable. Wine tasting shouldn’t have to feel that way.

I decided to combine wine tasting with something I grew up with - playing games - to make every sip an opportunity to learn, laugh, and have fun.

I love when I can spark the same joy and excitement that I feel when I discover a new favorite. I am a lifelong learner, I recently completed Wine & Spirit Education Trust (WSET) Levels 1 and 2, and looking forward to completing Level 3 in 2026!
