Wine tasting events should be as memorable and enjoyable as the wines themselves, right? But here’s the truth: there’s a big difference between a run-of-the-mill tasting and a carefully curated experience that guests actually talk about later. That’s where these artisan wine plates by Sakonnet River Company come in. Think of them as your new secret weapon—beautiful, handcrafted plates that mix practicality and style, letting guests enjoy every sip without a single worry about where to put down their glass or that perfect little bite.
Whether you’re an event planner or a wine lover who loves hosting, these plates are the ultimate wine-tasting accessory. They bring just the right balance of function and flair to the table, transforming a gathering into something truly unforgettable.
Wine Tasting Made Easy and Elegant
Picture this: your guests are mingling, glass in one hand, delicious appetizers in the other, effortlessly moving around and actually having a good time without the constant “where can I put this?” struggle. Sakonnet’s plates let them hold both food and drink in one hand, keeping the other hand free for whatever they want—whether that’s a handshake, a hug, or a sneaky refill. It’s an easy, stylish way to give everyone the freedom to just enjoy the moment. Plus, you’ll look like a genius for providing such a smooth setup.
The Right Plate for Any Kind of Tasting
Sakonnet didn’t just make one plate and call it a day—they have options for every vibe and event type, so you can pick the perfect fit for your gathering:
Bistro Wine Plate: A classic addition not to be missed, the Bistro plate offers a comfortable, ergonomic grip and a 2.5” diameter glass holder that works with everything from stemware to coffee cups. It’s an ideal choice for personal or formal events, giving guests a practical yet elegant solution for balancing their food and drink.
Gala Wine Plate: Lightweight and oh-so-elegant, this plate is ideal for a fancy cocktail-style tasting. Your guests can hold their wine and appetizers with ease, all while keeping one hand free for mingling. It’s the ultimate choice if you want a “wow” factor without any fuss.
Club Wine Plate: The MVP of plates. This one’s sturdy enough for anything, with a stable glass holder that works for wine, coffee, or cocktails. From classy indoor tastings to laid-back backyard hangs, the Club plate is ready to roll wherever your event goes.
Pocket Wine Plate: Small, discreet, and ready for action! The Pocket plate is ideal for events where guests are constantly moving. It’s lightweight, easy to hold, and won’t weigh anyone down. Think of it as the plate that keeps the vibe light and fun.
Club Carbon Fiber Wine Plate: This one’s for those who want to impress while being eco-friendly. Crafted from upcycled yacht carbon fiber (yes, yacht!), this plate is ultra-light and has that sleek, modern look. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to show off their sustainable side while keeping things sophisticated.
And don’t worry about which hand guests use—each plate comes in both right- and left-handed versions, so no one has to feel left out.
Personalization: Make It Memorable
If you’re hosting a wedding, corporate event, or anything where you want people to remember the night, Sakonnet’s plates can be custom engraved. Add initials, a logo, or a special message, and you’ve got a keepsake that guests will actually want to take home. Imagine sending each guest home with a plate engraved with their initials or a meaningful date—it’s like the best party favor ever, but one that doesn’t end up forgotten in a drawer.
Quality Craftsmanship You Can Feel
These plates aren’t just pretty; they’re meticulously crafted by artisans in Rhode Island using solid woods like Cherry, Mahogany, Maple, and Walnut. Every plate has a food-safe, maintenance-free finish, so they’re as durable as they are gorgeous. Sakonnet’s plates are made to last, and they’ll look just as good at your hundredth tasting as they did at the first. Plus, with free domestic shipping, getting your hands on one is as easy as pouring a glass of wine.
