| | Specialist Wine Tasting EventsThese events are targeted at the educated and experienced audience. They assume participants have a reasonable to advanced level of wine knowledge and a well-developed analytical tasting technique. These events are more appropriate for a wine appreciation rather than a celebration event.
The event list provides examples of event formats and is intended as a guide to the type of events that could be run. The details of each event can be tailored to suit your personal requirements.
Every event is specific to each client and hence the price per head is indicative. The overall price of the event is also influenced by the number of participants. We will agree a budget with you as we understand more about your requirements. Please note that it is possible to run events for less than 10 participants, but the pricing structure has a floor limit of 10 participants, as a minimum.
All indicative prices include VAT at 17.5%.
We will work with you to understand what you want to achieve from the event and what balance you want between education, fun and practical skills (i.e. wine tasting). For most events, the focus is on fun and practical skills.
Each event is designed to last between 1½ to 2 hours, with the tasting of approximately 8 samples, but we can flex that up or down according to your requirements.
| Event A1 - Influence of Wine Making Technique on Wine StylesHow do the techniques that a wine maker uses influence the style of wine in the bottle?
Through tasting different wines we compare, for example:
wines vinified in inert vessels with those vinified in wooden barrels;
wines that have been filtered against unfiltered wines; and
those matured using oak chips with those matured in a barrel.
This event can be run for between 10 and 20 participants and an indicative price would be £25 to £40 per head.
