Private Tastings
Designed Around Your Table
From wine and cheese pairings to seasonal tastings, our private events are designed to bring people together around thoughtfully crafted wines. We work with you to curate the wines and experience that fit your event.
CURATED DELIVERY
Curated Drinks, Delivered
Wine will always be our main focus. We source responsibly farmed wines from producers we love and bring them straight to your door so you can skip the guesswork and just enjoy what’s in the glass.
Not every moment calls for wine. We also offer a small rotating selection of craft beers, ciders, ready-to-pour cocktails and non-alcoholic options for delivery within our service areas. They’re perfect for when you want a little variety in your life.
Everything we carry is intentionally chosen. We focus on low-sugar and low-additive options from smaller producers. No endless grocery store aisles. Just good drinks we’re excited to share.
We deliver to New Kent, Richmond and the Northern Neck. Bottles can be shipped throughout Virginia.
Membership
Drink Good Wine at Home
Our membership is perfect for people who love discovering new wines but don’t want to spend hours searching for them. Each month we deliver a curated selection of responsibly farmed wines along with simple notes to help you enjoy them. Members also receive bottle & beverage discounts.
Membership deliveries go out on the first Saturday of each month. Wednesday options are also offered.
Hi, I’m Katie
Cork & Courier started with a simple realization. The wines I was finding on grocery store shelves just were not very exciting. They were mass-produced, overly manipulated, and honestly a little uninspired.
Then on a trip abroad, my best friend shared wines from a small Italian vineyard she loved. They tasted completely different. Cleaner. Brighter. More alive. It was the first time I realized how much care and intention goes into wines made by small producers, and how much better they can feel to drink.
That discovery sent me down a rabbit hole. I started seeking out responsibly farmed wines made with fewer additives and more attention to the land and the craft. Cork & Courier grew from that curiosity and a desire to share those wines with other people who want to drink something better.
Before starting Cork & Courier, I spent more than a decade working in restaurants. What I loved most was introducing people to something new and watching their reaction when they found something they genuinely enjoyed. That same spirit guides our tastings and events today. They are meant to be relaxed, exploratory, and welcoming.
While wine will always be the heart of what we do, I have also spent most of my adult life in Richmond, which gave me a deep appreciation for local breweries and thoughtfully made beverages. And when you are kayaking or floating on the river, sometimes the perfect drink is an easy craft cocktail or a cold seltzer. That is why we have expanded our delivery offerings to include a small selection of craft beers and ready-to-pour cocktails alongside our wines.
You will also find Cork & Courier delivering to Virginia’s Northern Neck. My husband grew up in White Stone, and it is a place that has become deeply special to us. We spent the summer of 2021 there and were married there later that year. We still spend many summer weekends in the area enjoying the river, small town pace, and of course the oysters. Delivering to the Northern Neck is our way of serving the community who are there for the same reason we are; to slow down, relax, and enjoy the good things.
At the end of the day, Cork & Courier is about more than what is in the bottle. It is about creating moments to gather, explore new flavors, and enjoy good drinks with good people.
Cheers to a better way to sip.
