Founded by fellow members of the media world, The Blending Lab lets you become a winemaker for the day. You’ll taste, experiment, and create your own blends, and walk away with a custom bottle.
And to be clear, this is not a snooty, high-end wine experience. It's designed as a fun, interactive experiment, and they have NA-wine blending options for clients who'd rather not drink.
They host events at their West Adams event space, will come to your office, or can run it virtually for distributed teams. They're also happy to personalize it if you've got an idea of your own.
Since drinking on an empty stomach is always a recipe for disaster, they also have several local food vendors they work with, which you can add to the experience.

Added Value: When researching the Blending Lab, I spoke with one of the owners, Magdalena, about why she launched it. She told me it was in part because she’d been to a fair number of client dinners, and saw an opportunity to create a more interactive experience where you got to do something fun and didn’t feel obliged to make conversation the entire time. Nothing like playing mad scientist with a glass of wine to take care of that.
