Our 'Whose Wine is it Anyway?' game is a great way to learn more about wine. It's a proven format involving a fun quiz with lots of carefully-picked clues and helpful tips from your wine host to allow novices as much chance of winning as seasoned wine drinkers! 

"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, Tyne & Wear Museums, 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!)

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.

What our customers say...

“Julia brings an awesome tasting experience for us during her visit to our office to host a wine tasting event. Julia is very engaging and charming when comes to presenting the wine, her knowledge of wine definitely adds a pleasant flavour in the conversation. On the finish, Julia has taken the effort to prepare well matched foods to enhance the wine. Overall the guests were very impressed. Wine tasting with Julia is highly recommended."

Junfeng Deng, Ernst & Young LLP

"Thanks again for organising the wine tasting for us. It was a really great afternoon, and very much enjoyed by all those who attended. In particular the way in which the session was set up, with an initial introduction so that we could better understand what we were tasting and how the wines were produced, to a little background on each of the different wines and why they were paired with the particular foods. A great fun setting, with a lot of thought put into it, everyone was able to relax, learn something new and enjoy some great food and wine!"

Asantha Wijetunge, OMD International
