Join Lit Society for an intimate evening where literature and wine come together to explore the many forms of yearning.

Guests will move through a curated tasting experience pairing wines with iconic works from the romance and longing canon from classics to contemporary favorites. Each pour is selected to reflect an emotional tone found in literature: tension, sweetness, desire, nostalgia, and release.

Alongside the tasting, guests will learn the foundations of wine while reflecting on how romance, emotional tension, and longing have evolved across literary history. The evening concludes with a guided romance book swap designed to carry the conversation beyond the room.

Think of it as part wine tasting, part literary salon, part collective meditation on wanting more.
