What we’re about
Hi, my name is Jason Michael Pate, executive director of Exceptional Wine Experiences Group. I began organizing wine appreciation groups in 2019 in Beverly Hills, California with the Beverly Hills Wine Club. I expanded to Greater Los Angeles that same year with For The Love of Wine while growing my groups to over 750 members. In September 2023 I began the greater Naples, Florida (Paradise Coast) chapter of For The Love of Wine.
We invite wine lovers and wine services the world over to celebrate, elevate and champion these passionate wine communities through awareness, education and first in class experiential events.
Our activities include curated live local events such as wine tasting experiences, winemaker dinners, wine destination tours, sommelier referral services, and web-based educational content to name a few.
Whether you're just getting interested in wine or you have a stunning cellar full of fine Burgundy - you'll find an immersive group of passionate wine loving individuals in which to learn something new with each event.
We love wine! Come join us as we enjoy gorgeous wines the world over while celebrating wine and food with like minded Floridians.

Ultra Lux Wine Tasting + Light Bites at Naples Yacht Club
– Sunday, November 17, 2024 3pm-5pm
$150 per guest (with light bites and canapé)For those of you new to the group, you’ll be pleased to know we strive to include educational elements of wine appreciation at most of our gatherings in addition to the social aspects inherent with a group setting. Even with modest academic certifications in wine I learn something new about wine everyday. I encourage you to be curious about wine…taste wines often...it’s a big world out there!
With that said, I will be attending a very rare and exclusive Grand Tasting Experience coming up in November at the beautiful Naples Yacht Club and would love you to join me!
Featuring a collective of small-production wineries made by some of California’s most celebrated winemakers, this is an exclusive opportunity to experience and acquire unique offerings from Napa Valley and beyond.
Each of these luxury wine producers will be pouring wines typically reserved for allocation or for guests directly visiting the winery. There will be a selection of light bites and canapés to pair with a portfolio of these most sought-after wines. During this experience, you’ll be tasting proprietary blends, small lot bottlings, single-vineyard designations, and new releases with the chance to purchase wine and show your support.
