Sniff the Difference!
The best way to learn is through comparing and contrasting and this is what we get you to do. Wines are tasted in pairs and can illustrate a variety of themes, some options are listed below. Select the topics which interest you most and we will design a evening of fine wine and fun for you. We recommend two tutors for this tasting.

The Sniff and Spit Challenge
Put your grey matter to the Sniff and Spit taste bud test. Great fun and light-hearted. Works best run in teams and as an in-house company event or a private party for a really fun night.
Pick up nuggets of information from your tutors so that everyone can join in with confidence.
- Round 1 - Fizz challenge is it Champagne or a New World contender?
- Round 2 Guess the Grape, Country, Vintage and Price
- Round 3 Call my Bluff Red and White
- Round 4 Surprise
- Round 5 Taste off. Teams will retaste one of the wines from the evening and then have to identify it. Two tutors are required.
Call my Bluff
Great for larger groups and to break the ice. Learn to Sniff and Spit like a professional and then put your tasting skills to the test. Taste fine wines from around the world and in your teams work out who is telling the truth and who is bluffing. There will also be the opportunity for team members to exercise their bluffing skills! Two tutors are required.
Where in the world?
We choose the grape and present two or three examples of each. Armed with tips and guidance from your tutor, teams have to choose the correct option for country, vintage and price band for each wine. This can be based around any country or region. Alternatively, for a formal occasion why not hold a tutored tasting and explore your favourite region or grape in depth. Whatever theme you choose - French, Italian, Spanish, Australian, New Zealand, South African...we have the expertise and exciting wines from around the world.
Learn to Sniff and Spit
For a tasting that can really help you get the most from wine, this is the one for you. Either a one off event or a series of wine tastings to help you learn more about wine and to get you tasting like a professional.
I Get a Kick from Champagne
Decadent perhaps, but there are always occasions when you just have to spoil friends, family, those special clients and of course yourself. Compare and contrast some of the top names in Champagne, learn how to pick a Vintage Champagne from a Non Vintage and hold an event with style. Please note that when seeking a Quick Quote for our Champagne tastings, prices start at the ‘Superior Premium’ quality level.
Irish Whiskey vs Scotch vs Bourbon
The best way to tell the difference is through a detailed tasting of each. Learn through taste and fascinating stories about the world's most historic drink - Whisky or is it Whiskey or is it Bourbon?! A really fun alternative to wine tasting.
