There's something about the sophistication and elegance of a wine tasting that makes it the perfect occasion to infuse with holiday cheer. Whether you're a red wine connoisseur, a white wine devotee, or a rosé-all-day kind of person, Partytrick and Vinebox have teamed up to bring you a holiday wine tasting night so merry that even Mariah would be singing, "All I want for Christmas is wine!" So, break out the velvet, cozy knits, and crystal glasses—it’s time to host a holiday wine tasting that’s pure festive magic.
Let’s start with the star of the night—wine! Vinebox has crafted exclusive holiday tasting boxes that are perfect for an elegant evening in. With Partytrick’s partnership, you get access to these tasting sets that will wow your guests and delight every palate:
Holiday Lights 3-Pack: This trio of crisp whites from Italy and France will transport your guests to snowy vineyards. Think jasmine, pear, pineapple, and a little almond on the finish—a wine flight that’s as elegant as it is refreshing.
Sleigh Ride 3-Pack: Featuring bold Spanish reds and a zesty Grenache Blanc, this pack delivers deep, smoky, and juicy flavors that will have everyone asking for seconds. Perfect for the red-wine lovers in the room.
Stocking Sipper Red 3-Pack: All reds, all cozy. With vibrant flavors of blackberry, raspberry, and a hint of violet, these wines are made for cuddling up by the fire with friends (and maybe a plate of charcuterie).

Wine tastings are all about elevating the flavors, so don’t forget the snacks! Here’s how to match those wines to the tastiest bites:
Holiday Lights: Pair these fresh whites with light bites like white pizza, ceviche, or scallops. The wines’ crisp notes play beautifully with bright, delicate flavors.
Sleigh Ride: These bold reds beg for rich, cozy foods. Think crockpot roasts, mature cheeses, or mole sauces that balance the smoky, juicy profiles.
Stocking Sipper Red: These reds shine alongside hearty snacks like smoked BBQ, duck breast, or charcuterie. Or keep it casual with pizza—no one’s complaining about that!
