Gifted Wine Experiences
The best way for your gift recipient to experience and enjoy our fantastic wine selection is through a Nice Winery Guided Wine Class Experience.
Our educational wine classes are not your average tasting! They are seated discussions about our wines, winemaking, and food & wine pairing, not the typical stand-at-the-bar winery tasting. We strongly recommend our Premium Guided Wine Class Experience featuring our most acclaimed wines and Chef's food pairings.
Our gifted Wine Experience price is $90 and includes tax, gratuity, and a beautiful certificate in black envelope, which we are happy to snail mail to your gift receipient. Call us at 713-744-7444 so we can customize your gift. If you would prefer to purchase a tasting for a specific date through our online reservation system, please click here.
All experiences are communal with mixed groups. If you would like to gift a party of 6 or more, or require a private experience, please email our Sales Director, Michelle Young at Michelle@nicewines.com for booking.

FAQs
What Can I Expect at a Nice Winery Experience?
Our guided Experience classes are a little more unique than your typical belly-up-to-the-wine-bar setting. We host seated, educational tasting experiences at our beautiful and cozy winery that has a living room setting. This means you might be seated next to someone you don't initally know, but trust us, you will not be strangers by the end! It is critical that you arrive on time to maintain the timeline of the wine and culinary tasting experience.
We try to keep our tastings under 16 people in order to offer an intimate setting where attendees feel comfortable asking our Winemaker and staff questions. Our tastings start promptly on time, so we ask for guests to please arrive at least 15 minutes early.
What Nice Winery IS
At a tasting, you will learn all about our unique winemaking concept, why we choose to make sustainably-farmed wines without the use of chemicals or additives, the difference between family-owned wineries vs. commercial wineries, why you really get headaches from red wine (hint - it's not sulfites!), how to decipher tasting notes in wine, and any other questions you've ever wanted to know about wine and winemaking. Every tasting is accompanied by cheeses and other items specifically chosen by our in-house Chef.
What Nice Winery IS NOT
Nice Winery is focused on wine and wine education. While we are thrilled for those of you who are celebrating bachelors/bachelorettes, weddings, birthdays, etc., we are not a good fit for gatherings of this type. If you want to bring a group in for a wine education class, we are happy to have you! If you want to drink with friends and wear cute birthday hats, we respectfully ask that you find a different venue. We are not a wine bar. Although we do sell bottles of wine, we do not sell wine by the glass. We do not allow outside food or drinks. We also cannot allow balloons or outside decorations. We are a 21-and over establishment and cannot accommodate small children.
HOUSE RULES:
We are unable to accommodate any visitors under the age of 21, including infants and children on the winery premises. In addition, we are unable to accommodate any pets.
Due to limited availability, we kindly ask that you let us know if you are unable to make your tasting appointment. We offer a courtesy window of 5 minutes for late arrivals. If you arrive more than 10 minutes beyond your reservation time we will make every reasonable effort to accommodate your party, but please understand after 15 minutes your ticket is forfeited.

We are unable to offer any refunds for cancellations or no shows on the day of your scheduled tasting, class, dinner, or event.
