The Master-Class

Experts At Hand
Your event will start with an introduction from our wine expert, who will teach you and your colleagues the official method of wine appreciation and how to fine tune your sniffing and tasting abilities! Your practical lesson will include distinguishing between different oaks, grapes and ages of wines and also a brief overview of different wines from around the world.

Blind Testing
Now that you and your colleagues are certified experts in the field(!) you will be split into teams and given the chance to sample a selection of unmarked wines and make notes on what you believe you are sampling! Points will be accrued for accuracy in description, age, grape and locality.

The Winners

You and your team’s analyses will be marked by our expert, who besides your raw score, will also take into account your team’s flair and extravagance in their tasting – Jilly Goolden impressions at the ready! The winning team will then be presented with prizes and medals to celebrate their victory.
