Wine Tasting Events

Wine tasting events can be an enjoyable learning experience. There are many different types of wine tasting. In a vertical wine tasting, guests taste the same wine from the same vintner in different years, while a horizontal wine tasting evaluates the same wine from the same year, from different producers. Two other popular types are the wine and cheese tasting, where guests experience the subtle changes in the taste of the wine when paired with the cheese; and the wine and chocolate tasting, which pairs wines with different chocolates.

Invitations are sent about two weeks in advance. You will need 2 ounces of wine, per glass, per person, per wine. It is also suggested that you provide bread and plain water to help clear the palate between tasting. You will usually compare four to six wines.

Some hosts print elaborate wine cards for guests to record their evaluations of the wines; others provide pen and paper.

A wine tasting can be an interesting social event or business mixer. However, if you aren’t familiar with wines, it is quite easy to get confused. Combining the wrong wines at your tasting, can make you look foolish, and spoil your party.

There are a number of ways to learn more about the different types of wines, and what wine to serve at your party.

In some areas, community colleges offer adult education classes in wine tasting. You can attend a class to learn more about wines. Your local library may also have reference materials where you can learn more about the basics. You can also learn online by researching different types of wine and learning the difference between them.

But all the books in the world can’t really give you the experience you need. In the meantime, you don’t have to postpone your wine tasting event indefinitely. A professional event planner can help you host your wine tasting event with dignity and style. He can provide you with informative materials to help you choose the best ones for your event, as well as preparing for the event and holding the event.
