An exclusive benefit for our Wine Club members is an invitation to our Annual Wine Club Event(s). Every year IWM will host a private wine tasting to highlight the outstanding club selections from the past year in the Exploration, Big Wines, and Sergio's Cellar clubs. This is an excellent opportunity to retaste some of your favorite wines as well as experience new wines from the other clubs. To accommodate our members this special event is offered on three separate dates.

The tasting will be held in IWM’s Studio del Gusto, a state of the art wine tasting facility that exudes the warmth of true Italian hospitality and showcases Mario Batali's custom-built salumeria and kitchen theater. Each event will be conducted in a casual, “walk around” format to create a social atmosphere and a sense of community among members. The wines will be presented by IWM sommeliers while IWM chefs prepare Italian food pairings to complement the selections.

We are offering this event in appreciation of our loyal Wine Club members. This occasion is for our members to experience IWM's signature event space while meeting other people with the same passion and appreciation for fine Italian wine.
