Need to add some extra sparkle to your evening gatherings with friends and family? Want to hold an employee engagement event virtually? We’ve tailored our Wine Discovery sessions for the virtual world and paired them with some great wines in either full bottle or half bottle sizes. So whether you’d like to know more about a region, grape or how to recognise different flavours and production methods, you can Discover. Explore. Enjoy. wine from the comfort of your own sofa.

Our Wine Discovery Sessions can be held virtually or face to face in your garden*, as long as social distancing rules are adhered to.

Explore some of the great grapes of the world. Be amazed at how they change as they grow in different geographies, soils and climates. Learn how producers can alter the smallest elements in the production process and have a profound effect on the final wines.

Understand a little about what it is that you enjoy, and discover new wines that you might like based on what you find. Or simply enjoy a range of your favourite grapes, wines or wine regions, with friends, colleagues or your clients.

Example sessions include:

• Wine Tasting How To – a look at the main primary, secondary and tertiary flavours of wine and how they are influenced by the the producer in the winery. Which do you like or dislike? What could you be buying more of?
• Northern Hemisphere vs Southern Hemisphere – how can you tell one from the other? What are the key wine characteristics and which ones do you like or dislike?
• The Mystery of Malbec – explore the rise in popularity of Malbec and it’s origins. Be amazed at how it changes from country to country.
• I Don’t Like Chardonnay – how many times have I heard (and said in my past) ‘I don’t like Chardonnay’ – explore this truly versatile grape, be amazed at how different it can be from one region to the next, you may even change your mind!
