Nez du Vin Aroma - sets of wine-related scents (fun!)

All our wine events are highly interactive in nature, and are produced and structured for all levels of knowledge and interest in wine. Our proven & successful format involves a fun, team-based wine quiz based on a blind-tasting game with lots of carefully-picked clues which allow novices as much chance of winning as seasoned wine drinkers. All our wine tastings include our aroma phial kits. These sets of wine-related aromas provide fantastic entertainment, and are a uniquely inventive way of developing the guests' sensory skills. Each Corporate event includes a rapid introductory session on how to taste wine – explained in a no-nonsense practical approach.

In the team quiz your wine host will present a series of wines to deduce the identity of . There can be many themes to the evening, all of which provide a focus for the guests and ample opportunity to collaborate and interact. Past themes have included French vs New World, Australia vs America, old wine or young wine, Italy vs Spain etc. For each wine the guests will receive helpful and objective coaching from the wine host enabling them to have a good chance at guessing the wine.
