About this event

Food & Drink • Wine

This isn’t your average wine night. Forget the usual suspects — The Grape Revival is a stage for the misfits and comeback kids of the wine world. We’re talking indigenous grapes, forgotten varietals, and bottles you’ve (probably) never even heard of. Some nearly disappeared, some rarely make it out of their hometowns, and all of them are here to blow your palate wide open. Join No Wine Left Behind at Columns Wine Bar for a gamified blind wine tasting!

Here’s what to expect:

  • 👾 Guided blind wine tasting game and dramatic reveal led by our wine experts
  • 🥂 A welcome glass of bubbly (6:00–6:30)
  • 🍇 Flight 1: Three white or light wines. Not a Chardonnay in the bunch. (6:30–7:15)
  • 🍷 Flight 2: This is the red round. Less merlot, more “woah!” (7:15–8:00)
  • 🎉 Stick around for our post-tasting NWLB party (8:00–8:30)
  • 🏆 Prizes for top scorers

Frequently asked questions

Am I blindfolded at a blind wine tasting?

Nope! Unless you want to really up the ante (but you'll have to bring your own blindfold)

What’s included in my ticket?

Your ticket includes a welcome pour of bubbly, two curated flights of rare wines (five total), and access to the post-tasting NWLB hangout.

Will there be help if I don’t know wine terms?

Absolutely. Our hosts will explain everything in down-to-earth language—no wine snobbery here! We’ll guide you through each wine’s characteristics with easy-to-understand tips and suggestions.

Can I come solo or should I bring friends?

Both! Our events are great for solo explorers looking to meet fellow wine lovers and for groups wanting a fun night out. The vibe is always friendly and social.

Is there a prize if I guess the wines correctly?

You bet! While guessing isn’t required to have fun, those who do will have a chance to win special prizes—like a bottle of wine, NWLB merch, or a discount on future events.

How long do the tastings last?

Our blind tastings usually run for about 90 minutes to 2 hours, giving you plenty of time to sip, guess, and enjoy.

Can I buy bottles of the wines I liked after the tasting?

Not at our events, but we'll send you an email with where to find all the wines you've tried (and flag your favorites for you!)

How many wines will I taste?

Typically, our blind tastings feature 5 to 6 different wines, showcasing sustainably produced selections. Each wine is chosen to spark conversation and curiosity.

What is The Grape Revival?

It’s No Wine Left Behind’s signature tasting series celebrating indigenous, overlooked, and nearly-forgotten grapes. Think wines you’ve probably never tasted before — and won’t find at your local wine shop.

Will there be food?

At some events we’re able to provide light bites to keep things balanced, but this is a wine-first experience. We recommend grabbing a meal before or after.

What makes these wines special?

Every pour is carefully chosen to spotlight grapes you rarely see in the U.S. Some are regional legends that almost never export, others are making a comeback after being nearly extinct. Either way, you’ll leave with new favorites to brag about.

Is there a dress code?

Nope! Come as you are. (Though if you want to go “grape revival chic,” we won’t stop you.)

Can I get a discount?

We occasionally offer perks for our email list and local partners. Join our mailing list to stay in-the-know.
