How to Host a Cookie & Wine Tasting Fundraiser

This is where the magic happens.

A Girl Scout cookie and wine tasting isn’t just fun — it can become a powerful way to support:

• Your local Girl Scout troop

• A school fundraiser

• A nonprofit organization

• A community initiative

• A mission-based cause you care about

  
  

Why This Works

Wine brings people together. Cookies bring nostalgia. Purpose brings meaning. When you combine all three, you create an experience — not just a tasting. A cookie and wine tasting fundraiser feels approachable, creative, and fun. It’s different from a formal gala. It’s intimate. It’s shareable. It’s something people want to attend.

And best of all? It supports young entrepreneurs, nonprofits, and causes that matter.

Tips for a Successful Fundraiser

1. Choose the Right Venue: Look for a cozy space that encourages conversation. A home or a local community center works well.

   
   

2. Set a Date: Pick a date that doesn’t conflict with major holidays or events. Weekends are usually best.

   
   

3. Invite Your Friends: Send out invitations early. Make it personal and share why this event matters.

   
   

4. Create a Tasting Menu: List the cookies and wines you'll be pairing. This helps guests know what to expect.

   
   

5. Share the Cause: Explain how the funds raised will support your chosen cause. This adds depth to the experience.

   
   

6. Make It Fun: Consider games or activities related to the cookies and wines. This keeps the atmosphere light and enjoyable.

   
   

Final Sip

Girl Scout cookies and wine pairings are delightful on their own — but when you add a mission behind them, they become something bigger.

Whether you're hosting for a troop, a school, or a nonprofit close to your heart, this is a simple and memorable way to gather people and give back.
