The woman leading the wine tasting was incredibly sweet, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. She took the time to explain each wine in a way that was easy to understand and made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. Her warmth really stood out and made the tasting even more special. The wines were wonderful, and the overall atmosphere was lovely—definitely an experience I would recommend!

This experience was amazing learned so much and she was so nice and passionate about what she does if I’m am in Tampa again I will definitely do this every time!!!!
Bubbles ( Denise) is very knowledgeable about wine. I thought that I knew a lot about wine, but I learned quite a bit more. Bubbles was very attentive and friendly. It was an enjoyable evening and I would recommend this wine tasting to anyone considering this experience.
This was a small and cute activity that we did with friends that we hadn’t seen in a long time. It was roughly a 2 hour experience. Dale was our server who walked us through each wine and was very polite and knowledgeable which made our time there that much more enjoyable!
Denise aka Bubbles created a fun and educational wine tasting experience. My husband and i enjoyed the wine and food pairings. I will be able to order wine with more confidence of what I am tacky looking for. 🙂
Had a wonderful experience at our wine tasting. Denise was fabulous and very knowledgeable about all wines. Be ready to learn and be engaged!
It was wonderful. So many interesting facts about wine. I would recommend to anyone. I learned so much about the different wines, blends and the different countries they come from.
Hands down this wine tasting.
Bubbles was an amazing host and very generous with the pours. Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a fun activity in Ybor.
It was such an Amazing Experience!! Denise is so knowledgeable and I learned more about wine! I will definitely be back and highly recommend this wine tasting!!
They guy the serve us was very nice a knowledgeable on the wines.
It was very small and loud
They don’t have a bathroom inside. There bathroom was outside in a different location which I guess that was historical part..I didn’t really care the wines that were given to us. I drink them because I paid for it.
It was fun. A little pricey for appetizers and wine tasting. The sommelier was knowledgeable. The venue was fine.
Denise was amazing. She gave us so much knowledge. The wines were great. The food was great. I would definitely come back. This was such a great activity for our group of girls.
Very knowledgeable. Good wines. Fun afternoon! Great price for everything you receive. Good value! Must do
Fun way to spend a some time with friends. Great area. Nice selections of wines. A good way to try some new wines and learn about where they come from.
Fun event to gather with friends, drink, wine, eat cheese, crackers, grapes, etc., and not be rushed in a great environment. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating.
Being open to the experience. Learning wine terminology was refreshing. Very good presentation from the host

This wine tasting class was an amazing experience. It was both fun and incredibly informative—I walked away learning so much about the types of wine I actually prefer. Bubbles did a phenomenal job running the entire class on her own; her knowledge, energy, and ability to keep everyone engaged really stood out. You can tell she’s passionate about what she does. I’d absolutely recommend this class to anyone looking to expand their wine knowledge in a relaxed and enjoyable setting.
We had a great time with the wine tasting! Bubbles ran the event and her name says it all - fun and full of energy! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and had everyone laughing. We got 5 samples and learned quite a bit about all of them. The tasting snacks were delicious. Just a great way to spend the afternoon.
Bubbles was smart knowledge and entertaining. Great wines and atmosphere. We will be back.
Great time for all
“Bubbles” was our host. She made the experience interesting and fun. Four of the five wines we tasted were new to us, which we appreciated.
This was a very good experience. I would recommend this to anyone. I love the history that was given about the the grapes. I love that he took you through each stage of each bottle and we got a small charcuterie plate and explanation of the cheese , the crackers and the nuts and how that pears with the wine all in all this was really , really good , and I recommend it for anyone visiting. We would definitely do this again when we come back to visit.
We had an incredible wine tasting experience yesterday! The host was absolutely amazing—super knowledgeable, with a fantastic attitude and the most contagious energy. We tasted wines we never would have thought to try, and ended up loving them.
I walked out with four bottles, and the prices were very reasonable. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who was incredibly kind and welcoming.
We will definitely be back—and that says a lot since we live in Miami. Denise, aka Bubbles, is someone you must meet at Society Wine Bar. You will absolutely fall in love, just like we did!
The wine tasting was great, the host was very knowledgeable. The portion of wine given to sample was a good amount and we sampled a myriad of different wines. You also get a discount on bottles of wine you want to purchase.
This was such a nice experience - completely exceeded our expectations. We had a lovely tasting and the perfect amount of attention from the sommelier. Will definitely be returning! High recommend!
Great wine tasting the host was very knowledgeable. The wines were tasty and the small plate complimented the wines.
Enjoyed learning about wine and tasting it from different countries. The Sommelier was very knowledgeable and kept the experience fun as well as educational. If you’re looking to experience the world of wine I recommend this want tasting experience.
Very Nice experience. Dale did a great job explaining the different types of wine, their origins, and history.
A nice sampling of wine in a pleasant venue with a knowledgeable sommelier. A nice way to spend the afternoon. We both enjoyed it very much!
We arrived a few minutes early and were promptly given our choice of seats. Dale, our guide for the day, was eager to answer any questions that we had. We had a nice chat about our wine preferences before the other guests arrived.
The mid-afternoon session had 5 other guests, seated at the wine bar and a nearby table. Dale poured us each a lovely Prosecco to kick things off, then explained the method used to make it sparkle. A great start!
We then moved on to whites. The wines will differ every time, usually one "old world" and one new. The two glasses of white were very different but both delicious. We were provided a generous charcuterie plate to enjoy with the wine.
After a bit where we chatted with the other guests, we moved on to the reds. Service was paced just right, enough time to socialize and not rushed.
The reds were delicious as well, again from two completely different regions. The pours were of generous size, enough to enjoy but not full glasses (thank goodness!)
Throughout, we had the opportunity to order food or additional drinks from the regular menu. As we weren't driving, we had a lovely ruby port to finish off the day.
All in all, it was a lovely time. We are lucky enough to be locals and will return to this hidden gem quite soon. They hold regular tastings and events, and even have a wine club where you'll get monthly selections from their well curated stock.
All in all, a perfect fun afternoon. A big thanks to Dale! We'll see you again soon!
