Here are some wine tasting bridal shower ideas to help jump start your party planning:
- Pick a Location: Begin the party planning by deciding where to host your bridal shower wine tasting party. If you have a large budget, consider a local party venue like a winery or vineyard.

If you want to keep the party more casual, host it at someone’s house and you will have the ability to decide the decorations, the food, and wine.
- Invitations: Incorporate your theme into the bridal shower invitations to give guests a taste of what to expect.

Buy flowers that complement the colors of the wine such as red roses, golden lilies, and red gerberas. Be creative with your bouquet displays. For a chic look, use old wine bottles as vases for the flowers.
- The Wine: The wine is the most important part of your party. If you are hosting it at home and don’t consider yourself a wine expert there’s no need to stress. For a party of 15-17, you will want to purchase three bottles of red, three bottles of white, one bottle of dessert wine, and one bottle of champagne. Adjust these numbers depending on the party size or wine preference. Most wine specialty store will be able to help you pick out wines that are delicious and within your price range.
- Food: Cheese is a classic food pairing with wine, so consider making your menu all about cheese. Some great wine and cheese bridal shower party ideas include an assorted gourmet cheese platter with crackers, olives, and cured meats. Some other more filling dishes you can consider putting on your party menu are mini cheese quiches, baked brie, fried cheese balls, and dates stuffed with gorgonzola.
