Corporate Wine Entertainment
Tutored wine tastings are a great choice for entertaining clients, sports and social club events and team building.
Based around an informal tutored tasting of 5-6 different wines, these events usually last 1 ½- 2 hours.
As well as information and background on your chosen wines and regions, your guests will also get tips on how to taste like the experts, how to get the best from your wine and food and wine matching. I can also incorporate a quiz, blind tasting or ‘wine mans bluff’ into any tasting.
I will arrange all wines, tasting sheets, spittoons and glasses if required. I can also assist in arranging a venue.
There are no minimum and maximum number requirements.
My presentation and arrangement fee is from £250.00 in Aberdeen and from £275.00 (plus any necessary travel/accommodation costs) outside of Aberdeen.
Wine costs are extra and will depend on your chosen theme and numbers attending. I usually work on 15 samples per bottle.
Below are some suggested themes but I am happy to build a tasting around your favourite grape, country or region.

AMAZING AROMATICS
This is an all white tasting that allows you to discover the influences and differences between Riesling from Germany and Australia. You will also discover the intense delights of Gewurztraminer and Muscat from Alsace, meet Gruner Veltliner from Austria and see the New Zealand take on Pinot Gris.

SIGNATURE GRAPES AROUND THE WORLD
Climate, soils, legislation and tradition all play a part in deciding which grapes are grown where. Over time, certain grapes have become well established in certain countries and regions. I like to call these signature grapes. This tasting shows a selection of 3 white and 3 red wines and may include wines such as Albarino from North West Spain and Carmenere from Chile. It’s a good way to meet new grapes and perhaps reacquaint yourself with old favourites.
