Consider hiring a string quartet, classical guitarist or play classical music CD's.

A wine barrel makes a perfect table assortment of cheeses, crackers, and wine. Provide your guest with chocolate filled candy dishes that complamint wine choices you serve.

Consider having a wine tasting for your guests. Make sure to have a variety of wines available including red, white, and blush varieties to insure that all your guests will be happy.
