If you’ve heard people talk about the Retail Wine Event at Doris but never made it to one, you might be wondering what all the buzz is about. These gatherings are more than just tastings. They are relaxed, welcoming evenings filled with great food, good wine, and 

a strong sense of community.

Here’s what to expect if you’re thinking about joining us.

A Night of Exploring Wine Without the Pressure

Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or just curious to explore something new, the Retail Wine Event is all about making tasting feel easy and enjoyable. With over 150 wines to sample, from bold Italian reds and California cabernets to crisp whites and sparkling favorites, there is something for every palate.

You can move at your own pace, ask questions if you would like, and try wines you might not usually reach for. Our vendors and staff are there to guide you if you want suggestions, but there is no need to be an expert. Just come ready to discover what you enjoy.

Food That Makes You Want to Stay Awhile

The wine is reason enough to attend, but the food is what really completes the experience. Doris puts together a full gourmet buffet along with artisan cheeses selected to pair well with the wines. It is not just light bites. You will enjoy a real meal featuring the same quality and care you expect from Doris every day.

Come hungry.

After Hours Shopping at Your Own Pace

One of the nicest parts of the evening is having the store to yourself after hours. It is quieter, more laid back, and gives you the chance to browse without feeling rushed. If you find a wine you loved during the tasting, you can pick it up right then. It feels less like shopping and more like exploring.

A Comfortable, Social Atmosphere

This is not a formal wine tasting. It is a social night out. You will see friends catching up, couples enjoying a date night, and neighbors meeting for the first time. Some guests dress up, others come straight from work. Everyone fits in.

If you enjoy good food, good wine, and easy conversation, you will feel right at home.

Want In? Here’s How to Join the Next Event

We’d love to see you at our next Retail Wine Event. Tickets are required and must be purchased in advance on our website. Each one includes the full experience — wine tastings, gourmet food, and exclusive after-hours shopping throughout the store.

Bring a friend, make it a date, or come on your own and see where the night takes you. If you have never been to a Doris Retail Wine Event, this could easily become your new favorite way to spend an evening.
