We use wine, pairings, and knowledge to encourage fun, engaging, and memorable experiences that can last a lifetime.

At Daring Pairings, we invite you to be insatiably curious

We are inquisitive and creative individuals here to help enrich the lives of others. We are always searching for new, unique, and special options and their connections.


We’re here to share our vast knowledge and expertise

We are passionate wine & spirit professionals and adventurers who are dedicated to sharing.


And we always meet people where they are

We are very inclusive and open to varied perspectives. We challenge established beliefs, teach real people to expand their own tastes and reveal new ways for them to better experience life’s bounty.


Daring Pairings sprung from believing that experiences and connections were enriched, more satisfying, better nurtured, and enjoyed when thoughtfully “paired” with the people, intentions…and things like wine
