A Private Tasting Experience

Cocktail Tasting Experience

A chef's tasting menu — told through cocktails.

Four or five curated courses, personal storytelling and refined presentation — created for private celebrations, date nights, client events and unforgettable evenings in Toronto & the GTA.

The Concept

Not a class. Not an open bar. A story you can taste.

Each course is designed to move the evening forward — from a bright welcome to a richer, more expressive finale.

Vlad prepares and presents every drink, sharing the inspiration, ingredients and technique behind it. Guests simply relax, taste and enjoy the progression together.

Choose a fully alcoholic, fully zero-proof or mixed experience. Zero-proof guests receive the same attention, complexity and presentation — never an afterthought.

Thoughtful, Inclusive Service

Tasting portions are intentionally smaller than full cocktails and are paced across the experience. Water and food are strongly encouraged.

Alcoholic service is available only to guests aged 19+ and is subject to responsible service. Venue licensing or a Special Occasion Permit may be required depending on the location and event format.

Zero-proof courses can be provided for any guest, and a fully zero-proof tasting is available for all ages and occasions.

Cocktail Tasting FAQ

How is this different from a cocktail class?

A class is hands-on and educational. During the cocktail tasting, Vlad prepares and presents each course while you relax, taste and enjoy the progression.

Who provides the alcohol?

The client or licensed venue provides the alcohol using a tailored shopping list. Vlad supplies the menu design, premium non-alcoholic ingredients, garnishes, equipment and presentation included in your package.

Can guests choose zero-proof?

Yes. The event can be alcoholic, fully zero-proof or mixed. Zero-proof courses are designed to match the flavour, care and presentation of the alcoholic menu.

How many guests can participate?

The experience works best for 6–16 guests. Smaller celebrations and larger corporate formats can be quoted according to the venue and service style.

Can the tasting be paired with food?

Yes. Vlad can coordinate the cocktail progression with your private chef, caterer or event venue. Food pairing and chef collaborations are quoted separately.
