Vino & Vinyl: The Most Fun You Can Have with a Corkscrew and a Turntable

Vino & Vinyl: The Most Fun You Can Have with a Corkscrew and a Turntable

Let’s be honest: regular dinner parties are great. But Vino & Vinyl? That’s the kind of night that becomes legend.

This isn’t just a gathering — it’s a ritual. A monthly mix of music, wine, laughter, and stories that brings people together in the most delicious way possible. Think of it as part listening party, part tasting session, part group therapy. It’s low-key, high-vibe, and ridiculously fun.

The V&V Vibe

This is more than sniffing and swirling. Vino & Vinyl is a conversation starter. About wine. About life. About the music that moves you. It turns shy sippers into passionate poets, and casual listeners into full-blown music evangelists.

All you need is a record player, a few good bottles, and a crew of curious, thirsty friends.

The Rules Are Simple (and Sacred):

1. Pick a host.
They must have a turntable. That’s non-negotiable. Bonus points if they’re the kind of person whose cooking makes everyone feel hugged. The host sets the tone and fills the house with warmth, culinary and otherwise.

2. Bring your favourite vinyl.
Choose a side (Side A or B — no skipping tracks, purists!) and a bottle of wine that matches the vibe. Maybe it’s a moody Burgundy for a brooding Billie Holiday side, or a fizzy pét-nat to pair with Prince.

Feeling bold? Flip it: choose a wine first, then find the music that captures its soul.

3. Want to play as a couple?
Great! Tag team your wine/music pairings and share the storytelling.

How It Goes Down:

• Greet each other like family. Hugs, kisses, handshakes — whatever your love language is.

• Write everyone’s name on a slip of paper, toss them in a hat, and draw for the order.

• Cue the record, uncork the wine, and the first pairing begins.

Now it’s show time.

Stand up. Tell the room why you picked this wine, why this artist or song speaks to you, and any story that connects you to either. A breakup song. A road trip. The first time you heard it — or the last time you shared it.

This is what music is meant for. This is what wine is meant for. Real conversations. Real connections.

Ever sent someone a song over text and got just a “thumbs up” back? Not tonight. Tonight, you get to plead your case — and feel the room light up in response.

Once Everyone’s Gone? Time to Vote.

The group picks a winner. Maybe it’s the best pairing. Maybe it’s the best story. Maybe it’s just the person who made everyone laugh ’til they spilled their glass. That’s up to you.

What’s certain is this: by the end of the night, you’ll know your friends better, love your wine more, and be humming a tune that tastes like something worth remembering.

Make it a tradition. Monthly. Seasonal. Whenever. But always full-bodied, well-spun, and beautifully human.
