10 Exciting Wine Night Ideas

It’s wine night! Grab your people and a tall glass of pinot grigio for an unforgettable wine night! It’s always exciting to spice up your wine nights with different aesthetics and activities. Get out a pen and paper to take some notes so that you can host an amazing wine night!

1) Wine Walks

This is a classic when it comes to win nights, but it is always a wine night favorite. Walking with your people is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and kindle conversation. It feels good to get out and enjoy a special place outside with your people. Plus, wine adds a tasty relaxing vibe to the walk. This is a wine night activity that would be perfect for a wine tumbler. But hey, it’s never a crime to walk with a classy glass too. Soon, you and your people will look like a migrating squad down the neighborhood!

2) Classy Picnic

We love this one! Why not pick a favorite gorgeous view and have a picnic! This is another wine night that would be ideal in the outdoors. Whether it’s your backyard or a state park, it’s always a good time to have a glass of wine with your people in an outdoor space. If you are near home, set up a make-shift table in your yard with seat cushions to sit on. You can string lights in the trees and have little snacks and cheese boards. If you’re not able to access all these resources, grab a blanket or some chairs and pack a picnic basket. People also love to order take out food and enjoy wine with friends with take out food outdoors. The possibilities are endless!  

3) Wine On The Water

Quick! Find the nearest body of water and enjoy a glass of wine there with your friends. Wine and bodies of water really go together hand-in-hand. Spend your time on the water and soaking in the view. The sound of the waves pairs very nicely with a glass of wine and happy vibes. Bonus points if you can find a beach or a dock to sit at! 

4) Wine Game Night

Grab your most competitive people and a host a wine game night! This is one of the easiest wine nights to host and it really is exciting and always full of entertainment. Board games? Heck yeah, they’re back. Risk, Sorry, Settlers of Catan, Uno, and more! Find your favorite competitive board game and see how you and your friends match up. Adding some wine to these games makes everything extra exciting. If you all are really feeling the wine, incorporate a drinking game to your favorite board game. Every time you draw a “sorry” card,  everyone has to drink. If you lose in a Risk battle, you have to drink! This is a fun way to spend wine night with your people!

5) Movie Night

Wine, cheese board, and a sappy movie? I’m there! A wine movie night is always exciting with your people. There are really two ways you could go with the wine movie night. If you’re looking to talk with your people through out the movie, pick a classic movie that you all have seen before. We call this the “casual movie wine night”. If you are looking to watch the latest and greatest movie that has just been realized on to amazon, then turn the lights down low and watch that movie with your wine! We call this one the “hella intense movie wine night”. Both movie wine nights are fun, but make sure you don’t mix the two!

6) Artsy Wine Night

That’s right. Bring back the arts and crafts! Time to get creative and create something with you people over a glass of wine. Do you all want to watch a painting video and paint a canvas along with the video together? How about creating a care package for people abroad or away? This is another solid wine night activity that is so creative and fun!

7) Karaoke Wine Night

Time to get your singing voices ready and to befriend someone with a karaoke machine if you don’t own one. This wine night activity gets people on their feet and has some guaranteed laughs. If you’re looking for a night to remember, this is a perfect option for you. There are also karaoke lyrics available on youtube if you are not in the market to buy a karaoke machine. If you’re really into the music vibe, there are also just dance videos available on youtube 😉 

8) Wine Night In The Kitchen

This wine night can be done at your house with people or virtually! Pour yourself a glass of wine and cook with people a meal (or bake). This is very fun to do if you have a person who is capable of guiding you through a recipe or if you have a cooking video you all are following online. You all can also have this wine night through Zoom and cook together virtually. 

9) Live Music

Usually you can find live music in your town or city if you look in the right places. If you find a good place with live music, have a glass of wine there with your people and enjoy the good vibes! Concerts cost a lot of money. It’s recommended that you find a local band or artist that you can support in your own town. This will give you more money for wine!

10) Bonfire

Ahh of course… the bonfire. When there is a bonfire, there must be wine. Enjoy time with your people gathered around a fire for a brilliant win night. This is a great place for conversations and good vibes all around. Plus, who doesn’t love the smell of the bonfire?

It’s a beautiful thing to have everyone gathered together while enjoying a glass of wine. How do you spice up your wine nights? Let us know in the comments!
