friendly competition?

Classic Brown Bag

Take your time with four hidden-label wines. Compare notes, follow a hunch, and make a few guesses before we reveal the bottles. We’ll guide the conversation; you decide how seriously to take the guessing.

For the group that loves a good wine conversation.

Brown Bag with Sommify

Turn the tasting into a game. Our adapted version of the Sommify board game uses clues and friendly competition to help you work out what’s in your glass. We’ll host, explain the rules, and keep everyone in the game.

For game-night people, including wine beginners.

A few things to know

Before we
pull the bags off.

Do I need to know much about wine?

No expertise is required. We’ll guide the tasting, explain any game rules, and help everyone find their way into the conversation.

Can I bring friends who aren’t members?

Absolutely. An active Wine Club member books and attends; the rest of the group can be invited guests. Groups are 4–8 people in total, including you.

Will we have the whole shop to ourselves?

You’ll have a reserved table and a hosted tasting for your group. Doctorbird stays open to other customers during your experience.

How much wine is included?

Four mystery wines, with approximately 3 ounces of each wine per person. We provide the glassware and tasting materials.

Does this replace my monthly Mystery Flight?

Your complimentary monthly Mystery Flight continues as usual. Brown Bag Bonanza is a separate paid experience that your Wine Club membership gives you access to book. Additional club discounts do not apply to this package.

When is my booking confirmed?

We’ll get in touch to confirm a suitable date, your group size, and the tasting details. Your reservation is confirmed after payment. We’ll share the booking and cancellation terms before you pay.
