Why Host a Wine Sampling?

Local Contribution

Each bottle of wine selected generates a contribution to UMOM right here in our local community. However, if a host has a cause that is closer to his/her heart, Wines for Humanity will generously offer those same funds to the host’s charitable cause. 9-12.5% of the revenue generated at a wine tasting will go directly to the charity.

Exclusive Wine

Privately labeled, these are not wines you can pick up at Total Wine or Costco. And all wines are 100% guaranteed by Wines for Humanity, which means you will always be satisfied.

Education

Our events are interactive and educational. You and your guests will learn wine tasting basics, interesting trivia, how to pair wines and food, and more!

It's Unique

We all get tired of the same old get-togethers. Do something completely different with your friends – relax, learn, sip – and create new memories.

It's Fun

Whether you consider yourself a wine connoisseur or a newcomer to the exciting world of wine, an in-home wine tasting is the perfect environment to discover which wines you love in a very relaxed and comfortable setting.

Fundraising Certificates

WfH will donate certificates perfect for any charitable auction. These certificates are good for a 6-bottle tasting for up to 16 people. Valued at over $250, these certificates are a great way to raise funds for your favorite organization.

Kelly sends in-depth descriptions of various wines for my sister to choose from to receive wine shipments every other month. Additionally, I've called Kelly several times on a moment's notice to send wine as gifts for various occasions. She always responded right away and had the wine delivered within 24-48 hours. I couldn't be happier with Wines for Humanity, thanks to Kelly Pile. She is one-of-a-kind and embodies the unique quality and mission of your organization. Cheers!- Bonnie B.Aug 15, 2017

About Kelly Pile

Wearing many hats every day, Kelly Pile is used to juggling a busy life. Together with her husband, she owns and operates Avenue 25 Advertising, a local advertising and marketing company in Phoenix since 1991. She is also the Executive Director of the Phoenix Obstetrical and Gynecological Society, handling events and meeting planning, and has inspired many as a Group Fitness Instructor for over 20 years at the YMCA. She is proud to add the title of Wine Advisor to her list in 2015.

When the Wines for Humanity concept crossed her path, Kelly knew that she had found a very special opportunity. Combining her interest in learning more about wine with an opportunity to "give back" to her local community seemed too good to be true. It was a similar epiphany she felt way back in the early 90's when she was given the chance to combine her personal love of exercising and feeling fit with inspiring others to do likewise with Group Fitness.

A native Arizonan, Kelly received her marketing degree from the University of Arizona (Go Cats!) and she is a proud parent of two amazing kids. She currently is serving as First Lady of a local Rotary club (her husband Rusty is the current president of his club, as well as serves on the District level of Rotary International). She balances her diversified life with a hearty dose of family and friends time. She enjoys hot yoga, travel, books and – of course! – wine.
