Private Tastings

Gustare offers group tasting events after the shop is closed to the public, usually beginning at 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, though some seasonal midday options are also available. A typical private tasting runs approximately one hour and introduces guests to the shop's various gourmet food products. An advance reservation is required with a deposit based on the expected number of attendees.

Once your group has arrived, the owner or manager will provide a brief history of Gustare Oils & Vinegars and an introduction to our range of products. Guests will have an opportunity to ask questions before the tasting begins and throughout the event as they navigate the shop. Tasting cards will be provided to tailor the experience to your desired level of detail. Staff will be available to answer questions about the applications of Gustare products and recipes.
