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!

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.

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 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.

Terrence_J, Jan 2026
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.
Jill_S, Nov 2025
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!
Heather_G, Nov 2025
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!

Denise was amazing had a great time learning on my first time will definitely come back soon when im back in the area
Rocker_S, Nov 2025
This was a great little wine tasting experience. We got a little lost trying to find the place, but that was my fault. Our bar tender/sommelier Dale was excellent. He led us through the tasting. He was very knowledgeable about the wines he was presenting and the wine bar's selection in general. He also had a great personality, gave great customer service, and made the whole experience enjoyable. This is a cozy little wine bar and great experience for trying an assortment of wines from the new world and old.

My family and I enjoyed it . We had a great time and learned a lot. Denise was so fun and knowledgeable!
Deidre_M, Oct 2025
We had a great time. Although the space was tiny for 12 of us, we made it work. There was only one person working and he had to spread himself between us and the other guest. It took a while between each tasting but it was still a great experience!
Katie_M, Oct 2025
Our Host was awesome! Although he could have used some extra help with having to manage everything from the bar’s regular customers as well as our large party.
Veronica_M, Oct 2025
Bubbles was so knowledgeable and taught us so many things about wine! She even catered to our tastes to make sure we enjoyed our wine.
Angelique_G, Oct 2025
The guide was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. He did not mind answering any of our questions either.
Michelle_A, Sep 2025
Bubbles was absolutely amazing. She was very informative. I loved all of the choices she made for our tasting. She also took the time to show me wines outside of the tasting and knew exactly what I wanted! I would and will do this again! My best friend's daughter is moving to Tampa so there will be more trips on the future! Thank you for an amazing experience!
Alejandro_M, Aug 2025
It was a lot of fun and really eye opening for me as an amateur wine drinker. I had a vague idea of what I liked coming in and after some back and forth between me and the sommelier working tonight she was able to give me some good wines to finish the night with. I also learned how to best describe what I liked coming and don’t like about each wine with some of her guided questions.
Donn_T, Jul 2025
Very social yet relaxed in a comfortable environment with a great hostess full of knowledge and personality!
Diana_G, Jul 2025
Excellent! Very informative. I'm not a drinker so he answered all of my questions. It was so much fun.
Summer_H, Jul 2025
Denise, did an absolutely phenomenal job helping us understand wine and pairing wines! Thank you so very much!
