Our best event of the year - champagne!!!! Try ten, incredible small-producer, quality champagnes and stock up for the holidays.

About this event

Our most sought after event of the year is almost here! The Book + Bottle Annual Champagne Tasting will take place October 28th and 29th as an homage to World Champagne Day.

This is all REAL champagne from Champagne, France. These are cool, small, independent producers and predominately "grower" champagnes meaning they're made by the people who grow the grapes, or by small cooperatives, rather than by large corporations. We've even found champagnes made by women, made organically, or made in the grower's backyard. These are the coolest of the cool and of the most ridiculous quality!

The bottle nerds at B+B love quality champagne so much and want to share it with the world. Despite the increasing costs and hard to get nature of champagne, we're doing everything we can to keep this event affordable and accessible to as many people as possible. We want you to fall in love, just as we have. We encourage you to dress up, make a day of it, and live your best life with the best bubbles in the world!

"My only regret is that I did not drink more Champagne." -- Lord Keynes

How the tickets work:

There are two ticket options, one for Friday and one for Saturday. Please make sure you buy the correct ticket - your ticket will ONLY be valid for the day and time purchased. Each day, the event lasts 4 hours. You can come taste at any point during that window, but we will be stopping up our champagne bottles promptly at 8 pm on Friday night and 6PM Saturday night, so make sure you give yourself enough time to finish during that window of time. If you're wanting to miss the lines, we suggest arriving earlier. Please note: due to our small space, this is predominately a standing room only event, so please plan accordingly.

***WE HAVE TO PREORDER THE WINES, SO THERE ARE NO REFUNDS FOR THIS EVENT.***

Our Weekly Donations-Based Wine Tasting…(pronounced "chin chin", it means "cheers!" in French)

Here at Book + Bottle, we really love wine. And, we love you, too! So, we host these casual, little Friday tastings to share our passion with you. We might be pouring something brand new, a line up of our favorite bottles, or just some crazy fun wines that we think should be in your repertoire that we want to talk to you about!

We hope you’ll stop by the shop on Fridays from 5-7PM to sip some wine and chat up our staff on why we love this grape juice so much.

Theme changes weekly! No tickets or reservations necessary for this one - just pop in! Usually, these tastings are complementary, but, every once in a blue moon, our tasting will include a small fee so we can bring you the absolute coolest stuff to try!

Foolish Mortals, the honor of your presence is requested to a "ceremony" that is being held, as we are saying goodbye to some dying liquid from various places where they have dwelled.

For these are not just "Halloween Wines" with scary labels or names, they all have backstories, legends and lore with horrific claims......

Led by our wine expert Heidi, we will be tasting some of our favorite spooky wines. Costumes are encouraged — the staff will be dressed appropriately. Please arrive early, at 6:30PM. Class will begin promptly at 7PM. This class will last until 8:30 or 9PM. 

What you can expect:

• A line up of SIX extra spooky haunted wines.

• A handout with information on each wine with room for you to take notes.

• Palate cleanser snacks

• A guided tasting by Book + Bottle's wine experts

"My only regret is that I did not drink more Champagne." -- Lord Keynes

This is an excellent chance for you to taste bottles you'd like to enjoy or gift over the holiday season. To help you stock up, $20 of your ticket can go toward a purchase of 2 or more bottles of champagne purchased the night of the tasting. 

This is a rolling event between the hours of 5-8 pm, so feel free to stop in anytime within that time block. We will be stopping up our champagne bottles promptly at 8 pm, however, you're more than welcome to stick around for a post-event glass of champagne. If you're wanting to miss the lines, arrive closer to 5 pm.

See you then!
