There are numerous places in Las Vegas to enjoy free wine tastings.
Below is a list of the most popular establishments offering free tastings. These offerings are subject to change so please check with the establishments.
Horizon Ridge Mini-Mart
Yes, believe it, there is a nice free wine tasting offered weekly at a little hole-in-the-wall grocery in Henderson. Offered every Friday from 6 pm to 10 pm, the owners of this family run business really aim to please. The hand-picked wines are of a higher quality and better selection than what you would ever expect at a mini-mart, and they have a cute little wine bar in the back for the tastings. While there we recommend you pick up a Boar’s Head sub sandwich. Even people from Jersey are raving about them!

Owner and wine aficionado Issa Khoury opened Khoury’s Fine Wine and Spirits in August 2004, with a vision of creating a boutique wine shop in Las Vegas. A native of Nevada, Issa graduated from the University of Nevada Las Vegas. Realizing that there were no wine shops in Las Vegas focusing on small, up & coming wineries, Issa decided to open up Khoury’s Fine Wine & Spirits. The shop is dedicated to their customers and they specialize in hard-to-find, boutique wine, beer, & spirits.

Oh my goodness, wine tasting event in Las Vegas! That sounds so fun and epic. I wish I could also get such an opportunity to be a part if this event but I think it is not possible for me to travel to Las Vegas anytime soon. So for my upcoming birthday I would like to host the decent wine tasting themed birthday bash at a local event space Chicago.
