As people who spend a fair amount of time with our noses in wine glasses, we appreciate a thoughtfully-crafted sensory encounter. Thus, we LOVE Diptyque. This French candle crafter makes some of the dreamiest, most evocative, just plain enjoyable fragrances we've ever had the joy of sniffing, and we're thrilled to welcome them to All Together Now for an evening of scents, sips, and nibbles.

At this special sunny session, guests will move through thoughtfully-selected groupings of wine, snacks, Diptyque candles, and personal fragrances, and each station will bring you to a different kind of summer social experience. Think lush garden parties, sun-kissed beach moments, and wood-fired dusk gatherings.

Ticket includes guided wine tasting, small bite pairings, and scent lesson. You'll also enjoy a shopping discount at All Together Now and bring home a large Diptyque candle. And if you're having a great time and want to stick around after the workshop, we'll be here till 9pm just for you and your fellow attendees.

With no shortage of nuanced and thoughtful non-alcoholic beverages in our fridges these days, why should wine get all the pairing attention? Cheese and spirit-free drinks pair beautifully, and getting a grasp on the concept requires little more than some hands-on tasting experience. You'll start this workshop by learning basic pairing principles and vocabulary, then the real fun begins. You and your classmates will taste your way through five of our favorite cheeses and four N/A drinks, mixing and matching to determine for yourself what works and what doesn't. This is a fun, interactive session that'll leave you happy and informed.

Tickets are $60 and available here.

We eat first with our eyes, so you’d better make that cheese board handsome. But if you have style without substance, then your board's no better than a reality TV star. That cheese has gotta be GOOD. Seem like a tall order? We promise it’s easier than it sounds, and this hands-on class will set you up with all the tips, tricks, and knowledge you need to make a cheese board that looks as good as it tastes. All Together Now owner Erin will go over different cheese styles, how to shop for a crowd, what questions to ask your cheesemonger, and how to put it all together with an eye toward presentation and ease of enjoyment as you build your own board to take home. Think of it as Cheese 101 in action.

$65 per person includes class, a completed cheese board, and wine. (You’ll have the opportunity to select regular or nonalcoholic wine at checkout.

We’re getting more sunshine and daylight, which means you’ll be putting in time at park picnics, lakeside afternoons, and twilight grilling parties. You’re gonna need a wine plan for that, and we can help. Join us for an exploration and tasting of our favorite wines for this seasonal shift. We’ll share our go-to bottles for spring activities from day to evening, with context, stories, and plenty of tasting. You’ll learn a bit, meet some new friends (both wine friends and human friends, we hope), and have a good time.

Tickets are $50 each and are available here.

If you gather with pals to draw a still life of wine and cheese while drinking wine and eating cheese, is that art imitating life? Or is it the other way around? Sketch your way through these important questions at Drink & Draw with Krissy Singer, artist and general manager of ATN. You'll gather around our big table to draw a curated still life arrangement of wine, cheese, and other lovely goods. Krissy will guide you through drawing basics, including perspective, shading, distilling forms into shapes, lighting, and more. We'll provide all of the drawing materials, plus snacks and a glass of wine.

$50 per person. Get tickets here.

Our internal dialogue when we look at flowers: Hot dang, nature! Look what you did! And nature really brings it in the spring, so we thought it’d be a good time* to team up with Nerine, a local floral studio that leans into the flower-ness of flowers. We’re pleased to host them for a night of arrangement artistry, wine, and snacks. At this workshop, Nerine will show you how to create a beautiful, sculptural centerpiece using local, spring blooms. Attendees will learn sustainable mechanics, best practices for modern floral design and leave with a seasonal, unique vase arrangement. We’ll make sure you don’t go hungry or thirsty, too. Your ticket includes the workshop and all materials, plus a glass of wine** and tasty snacks from All Together Now.

* Did you notice the date? It’s awful close to Mother’s Day. Maybe you can bring your mom, eh?
** Prefer non-alcoholic wine? You’ll be able to indicate that at checkout.

- MENU PLANNING: What are you making? How much? When are you doing it? We’ll offer tried-and-true recipes, menu structures, and suggested preparation timing that’ll leave you free to kick up your feet and enjoy your own party, with plenty of tastes along the way.
- BEVERAGES: We’ll cover helpful pairing principles, talk about the benefits of living large (expect magnums of wine and full punch bowls), and offer fun booze-free ideas. You’ll get to sip on them all for yourself, too.
- WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER: How to be smart about outsourcing and zhuzh in ways that feel extra-special. And guess what? There’s more tasting here, too. It’s the best way to learn!

A lot's changed in the past few millennia, but humans have been drinking wine and making things from clay through it all. The past melds with the present during this clay carving (plus sprinkle of wine) workshop with Danielle Chutinthranond of Monsoon Pottery. Danielle will teach the basics of the inlay techniques used to create Monsoon's signature blue and white wares, and participants will create their own original porcelain plate. Danielle will also discuss the history of inlay and the power of the traditional Asian symbols and motifs she references in her own work, encouraging you to craft your own. Participants are encouraged to bring ideas and line drawings to reference.

And that other older-than-time activity, wine? The All Together Now team has a tasting in store for you featuring a moderate historical angle and maximum deliciousness. We'll also provide a picnic-style dinner to fuel your clay carving work.

This workshop includes:
- A three hour session with hands-on instruction of the inlay technique
- One small porcelain plate for each participant to decorate (additional plates available for $40 each)
- A history lesson on inlay and blue & white wares
- Wine tasting and dinner

Plates usually take 2-3 weeks to fire and finish after the workshop and will be available for pickup at All Together Now when ready.

Martha Stoumen is a winemaker whose bottles have been a steady, delicious part of our story. She’s a paragon of new California, a trailblazing maker with a surfeit of talent, devotion, and creativity, and a right cool lady. You might’ve sipped a bright, juicy glass of her Post Flirtation red blend at the bar, or maybe enjoyed the wine club member's exclusive bottle of her Nero d’Avola Rosato. But if you’ve experienced Martha in any form, you know she makes damn delicious wines.

And guess what? SHE’S COMING FOR DINNER AND YOU’RE INVITED!!!

Join us for a family-style dinner at Present Company with conversation, fellowship, and pairings poured by Martha herself. Tickets are $150 each and include the meal, pairings, and service/gratuity.

OMG! It’s Evan Lewandowski, winemaker from Ruth Lewandowksi Wines! Evan’s wines are forever-favorites of ours, and judging by the speed at which they fly from our shelves, y’all are fond of them, too. His low-intervention California wines are made earnestly and with heart, and the results are easy to drink at an immodest pace. This event includes the winemaker himself, his favorite goat cheese curds, and opportunities to taste his wines as a flight or individually by the glass.

Loci Wines is a new-ish endeavor from our friend Randall, recovering humanities professor and top-of-his-class wine guy. Loci brings us a growing and exceedingly delicious portfolio of wine that Randall calls “neoclassical” and we call “damn good.” Italian makers Valfaccenda and Agricola Caprera are two examples, and the humans from both estates will be here with us to pour, chitchat, and have fun. Valfaccenda and Caprera wines will be available by the glass and as a flight during this winemaker happy hour.

Third Coast Soif celebrates the notions of “wine as community” and “wine as beverage” in equal measures. On that, there’s no better partner for us than Middle Brow to kickstart the off-Soif fun. These Midwestern winemakers, Christmas tree vendors, fermentation fanatics, and fun folks are never not pushing the envelope, and they do it all while keeping us full of damn fine pizza, bread, beer, and wine. We’re fortunate to call them friends and even luckier to host them for a crosstown classic of shenanigans, tavern-style pies, and Michigan wine. Come for the wine, stay for the camaraderie. Or the other way round. We don’t care, as long as you find your way here.

Blind tasting is a technique used in wine trainings, formal examinations, and occasionally by our wine director when she's bored and wants to stump us. This approach to involves tasting wine without any information about what's in the glass. It helps folks at all levels of wine appreciation to understand, appreciate, and evaluate without bias.

In this session, our wine director Leigh will take you through the process of evaluating four different wines based on what you perceive with your senses. She'll share tips, terminology, and a useful framework for thinking about drinking. You'll become a Wine Detective™. (Kidding. Kind of.)
