Pour Choices began in August 2019 as a personal project by founder Marisa Rosa Grant, who sought out wine tours as a way to make new friends and build connections. What started as a search for community quickly grew into a passion for creating inclusive wine experiences that welcome everyone.
After a brief pause in 2021 due to the challenges of organizing during the COVID-19 lockdowns, Marisa took a step back to recharge. It wasn’t until 2023, when Marisa befriended a sommelier who introduced her to more local wine industry professionals. Pour Choices was reborn with a renewed purpose in March 2023.
