Catering and Event Wine Planning Guide


Planning an event is exciting, but deciding how much wine to purchase can feel overwhelming. Whether you're hosting a wedding, corporate event, bridal shower, anniversary celebration, birthday party, rehearsal dinner, or family reunion, Weathervane Winery makes it easy to select the perfect wines for your guests while helping you stay within budget.


How Much Wine Do You Need Per Guest?

A good rule of thumb is:

  • One bottle of wine serves approximately 5 glasses.
  • Plan on ½ to 1 bottle of wine per guest depending on the length of your event and whether beer or cocktails will also be available.


Save Money with Weathervane Winery Wine

One of the easiest ways to reduce your event budget is by serving award-winning local wines from Weathervane Winery.


Because our wines are competitively priced, many hosts discover they can provide a better wine experience for their guests while spending less than they would purchasing comparable wines from retail stores.

Even better, receive a 15% discount when you purchase a full case of wine.


Mix and Match Your Cases


There's no need to purchase twelve bottles of the same wine. At Weathervane Winery, you can mix and match bottles within a case to create the perfect wine selection for your event while still receiving the 15% case discount.

This allows you to customize your order with a variety of styles so there's something everyone will enjoy.

Every guest has different tastes. We recommend offering a balanced selection that includes:

  • A crisp white wine
  • A smooth red wine
