"Fantastic - very relaxed and enjoyable. Some laughs among the seriousness. Would definitely recommend!"
We will sample at least 6 different quality wines and compare them side by side and you can include Champagne. We always include a rapid introductory session on how to taste wine – explained in a no-nonsense practical way - and we can introduce our aroma phial kits, a box of wine-related aromas that are a uniquely inventive test of your sensory skills in a way that provides entertainment and interest.
We can also run themed evenings such as France vs New World, Bordeaux vintages, Old vs Young wines, Australia vs America (or anything else you might like to suggest).
Our wine tastings are entertaining and good fun, pitched at a level that ensures all the guests learn something new about wine and, most importantly, have a great time doing so.
The venue can be selected from our list, or the event can be organised at the clients premises/offices. The event can take many formats, from fun and informal with quiz/team element, to a tutored tasting with a wide variety of wines. All equipment, glasses, wine, notes etc are supplied. We have organised & hosted wine-tasting events for Ward Hadaway, Price Waterhouse Coopers, Eversheds, Benchmark Communications, BT, and many others.
Our format for the evening can be tailor made but normally includes the following -
- Hire/cleaning of professional ISO tasting glasses
- Chilling equipment for optimal serving of white wines
- Approx 6 different high-quality wines
- Professional tasting notes /quiz sheets on each wine
- Digital projection equipment with DVDs/Maps/Slides
- A fun quiz/team format tutored tasting
- Nez du Vin Aroma - sets of wine-related scents (fun!)
What our customers say...
Katie and her colleague ran a wine tasting session as part of our conference dinner for 80 guests. It went down extremely well and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, which was relaxed, fun and informative. Katie was extremely helpful at suggesting what type of tasting might work best for our numbers and format of event, and worked with us to choose the appropriate types of wine for our guests. I would highly recommend Katie and Birmingham Wine School to anyone wanting to add a little something to their corporate event.
The event was fantastic, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it, the wine selections and whole running of the event was perfectly executed, I could relax with the knowledge the event was superbly managed by Birmingham Wine School, great balance of information, knowledge sharing and importantly masses of fun.
