Today we’d like to introduce you to Rita Puglise.
Hi Rita, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
The Traveling Vine FL is a mobile wine service where exceptional wines and wine tastings come straight to you!
As passionate wine enthusiasts with deep family roots in viticulture, we set out to offer fun wine party options for all budgets. Whether you’re hosting an intimate gathering, fundraiser, celebrating a special occasion, or simply to indulge in a well deserved glass of wine, we bring the hospitality experience to your doorstep.
We offer fun, educational wine parties with wine and painting, wine with Bingo, wine and food pairings, fundraising and more! All wines used are organic, to prioritize health and wellness.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Our biggest struggle has been educating the community that we’re not just another wine vendor — we bring the entire tasting experience to you. It’s about teaching, connecting, and creating memorable moments, not just serving wine.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Doing it all — wearing every hat from event planner to wine educator to marketer — while staying true to why I started The Traveling Vine FL in the first place: to share the love of wine in a fun, approachable way.
I’m most proud of our 5-star reviews because they reflect more than just satisfied guests — they show that people genuinely feel the heart and care that goes into every event. Each review tells a story of laughter, connection, and discovery, and that’s what The Traveling Vine FL is all about. It’s proof that we’re not just pouring wine — we’re creating experiences people remember.
What sets The Traveling Vine FL apart is our personal touch and passion for making wine approachable and fun. We bring the vineyard experience to you — wherever you are — blending education, entertainment, and elegance in one unforgettable event. From our curated selections to our Tuscan-inspired presentation and relaxed, no-snootiness style, we make wine tasting feel like a celebration among friends, not a classroom lecture.
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
What we love most about working in Tampa is the sense of community. People here truly value local businesses and experiences that bring people together — and that’s exactly what The Traveling Vine FL is all about. Every event feels like connecting with friends who share our love for good wine, good company, and Florida sunshine
Sometimes it can be tricky standing out in such a lively and competitive market. Tampa has so many great events and experiences, so we constantly push ourselves to stay unique, creative, and true to our brand — bringing that personal, Tuscan-inspired charm everywhere we go.
