The Curated Grape
Taste Together. Learn Along the Way.
The Curated Grape is not just a wine tasting - it’s wine education meets fun at home. Whether you’re hosting a dinner party, a birthday, having a date night in, or just love wine, you’ll be delighted with this unique, interactive experience.
We will guide you through a thoughtful tasting of hand-selected wines, while teaching you foundational wine knowledge along the way. Learn where your wine comes from, unique aspects of its terroir that shapes its nuanced flavors, and much more.
And the best part? We bring everything to you. From the wine glasses to the cork screw, all you need to do is provide the space! Of course, you keep all leftover wine.

Meet Your Host
Jen Dollard | Owner
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.
I am a Baltimore-based wine enthusiast, soon-to-be sommelier, and foodie. I started The Curated Grape to share my passions with the local community.
The world of wine is truly complex and fascinating. The process of taking the Sommelier Levels II & III courses ignited within me a deep appreciation, not just for the complexity of wine itself, but also the history of the industry and science behind the wine-making process. That’s when I knew I wanted to create an experience that takes you beyond a basic wine tasting and introduces you to topics like terroir, history of wine in the US, aging techniques, and much more.
I also wanted this experience to be communal and accessible - tailored to be enjoyed with people you care about, in the comfort of your own home.
Outside of the wine world, I enjoy cooking, trying new recipes and restaurants, and doing yoga/barre. I also hold degrees in geography and business and have been working as a Project Manager over the past 5 years.
