Who doesn't love a midweek ritual?!
A little medicinal glass of wine with some treats along side can be JUST what you need to get a taste of the weekend (and power you through the last two days).

Sometimes I'll be having wine and realize, "oh, it's wednesday" which is perfect. Though, not every week am I engaging in a wine wednesday.
But, when I do it better be stellar!
Here are the best wine wednesday ideas to craft up a perfect evening with yourself or with your friends.
This post is all about wine wednesday.
The Best Wine Wednesday Ideas
Whether you want the best wines, or the best snacks, these wine Wednesday ideas will give you something to look forward to!
Don't be shy, join the club
I had no idea, but online wine clubs are the BEST way to try new wines and have them be delivered directly to your door. That means, you get home from a long day and you don't even need to go out for wine... on a Wednesday...
The best part of a wine club is you get to choose the club you want to be a part of that matches your wine drinking style.
Top chic wine clubs to join:
- Plonk Wines: Biodynamic and organic wines with unique varietals.
- Winc Wines: No sugar added, no sulfites, and adorable wine labels.
These are the perfect addition to ANY wine Wednesday, whether you are meeting up with girlfriends or having a relaxing wine night at home you can bring top notch wines. Plus, you get to try new wines without the hassle of choosing!

No club, but a taste
I get it, sometimes the wine clubs can be too much or too expensive. Or you can't drink all the wine in time before the next shipment comes (a rare but common occurrence).
Then, you might be looking for just a taste...
Personally, having a wine tasting was the perfect little amount of wine enough to try something new and curated, but not too overwhelming and expensive.
Does that sound like you? Someone who wants just a taste of something new and exciting?
The best wine tastings:
- Vinebox: A curated box of 3 wines sent directly to your house. Plus, it includes tasting information from a sommelier. Enjoy it a la carte!
- Sampl: Curated box of 7 wines sent directly to you from wine regions around the world!
You will try wines you never even heard of from regions all over the world without having to hand pick yourself at the store, get them perfectly curated ready to enjoy on your wine Wednesday!

Snacks galore
What is better on a wine Wednesday than cute little wine bites? Especially on those busy work days when you might not have any time to cook or prepare snacks...
But, you want your glass of wine!!
These no-cook wine bites are a perfect addition to your wine Wednesday. From apples and cheese to figs and prosciutto these snacks are literal. game. changers.
Think like a broken down charcuterie board.
Make these snacks as:
- Girl dinner (when you just want to relax midweek)
- An easy snack to bring to a friends wine night
- Portable bites for wine nights outside
- Affordable delicious-ness you will be obsessed over
Yoga and Wine
I am a huge proponent of relaxing, doing yoga when you can, and engaging in self care. So why not combine yoga and wine...?
Our wine Wednesday's don't need to be all about drinking! We can infuse other wellness tips to blend together our love of wine and self-care.
Working with the spirit of wine can be a beautiful symbolic experience if you allow it to. Think about wine and what wine actually is.
Wine was a grape at one point. It then, went through a beautiful transformation using natural elements (yeast and bacteria) to transform it into the beautiful glass of wine you know and love.
Yoga can be the same for our bodies and our spirits. Undergoing a radical transformation as we connect to our natural elements: our breath and body.
You might be wondering where the heck I am going with this!
On your next wine Wednesday when you are conjuring up ideas of your midweek escape, think about combing yoga and wine.
Ideas include:
- Personal yoga practice with candles and incense, then after enjoying a glass of wine while journaling.
- Inviting friends to a wine yoga event at your house or in your area.
- A simple glass of wine while you journal.
- Breathwork and meditation on the floor, when you complete enjoy your glass of wine next to a candle.
I mean, the ideas are endless!
Learn wine and drink wine
A fresh new wine Wednesday idea is to engage with winemaking itself! I know, it sounds a bit crazy... But, bear with me.
Winemaking is a sacred and righteous craft. As you probably know being a wine drinker and lover! Though, not many people who drink wine actually have an appreciation for the way wine is made.
After working in the winery I saw first hand the beauty of winemaking and the labor needed to make it.
How to get started into learning winemaking:
- Easy step by step process of making wine that'll have you winemaking by morning.
- On-demand winemaking equipment to get you started right away.
- Exclusive creative winemaking ideas you will totally fall in love with.
- Why herbal wine is the craft nature-loving girls are obsessed with.
- Find online wine courses.
Host a wine tasting night
For those wine lovers who want to be around your best friends on your midweek escape, plan a wine tasting night with wine bites and a casual environment!
I'm not going to sit here and try to tell you how to host a wine party, because it's up to you how you want to do it, and pretty self explanatory.
Ideas can include:
- Wine bites or charcuterie boards
- Wine tasting from Sampl or Vinebox
- Wine from Plonk or Winc
- Crafts and projects (check out wine night ideas here!)
Candle lit journaling
Another self-care wine Wednesday idea: candle lit journaling with your glass of wine. I love having a glass of wine and journaling, especially after sunset or on vacation.
Grab your wine either from the store or from a wine club, grab your journal and set yourself up in a cute little nook to reflect, breathe, and relax.
Perfect for those who love a relaxing evening, getting ready for the weekend, and slowing down time (just a little bit).
Some journaling prompts to spark some reflections:
- What was the most challenging part of your week?
- Why do you think that was so challenging?
- How can you adapt to it better?
- What are 5 things you are grateful for?
- Expand on those!
Wednesday, turns to date night
Let's escape for a moment with a cute guy into the woods or on the beach for a wine date night escape...
What is a better way to enjoy your midweek than to be outside, on our porch, or next to candlelit with a cute date next to you? Possibly enjoying some new wines from a wine club or a wine taster (hint hint!).
Find the top wine date night essentials here to transform your wine Wednesday into a mystical date night.
We can transform our midweek slumps into a relaxing, elegant, even exciting evening where we get to reflect, connect, learn and expand.

Sounds a little too perfect to me.
