Workshops
Wine Workshops in London
Wine tasting workshops are great vehicles for sampling wines you’ve never tried before and for learning something new. They combine informative discussions as well as surprise and entertainment to enrich your knowledge, no matter what your level.
We organise corporate and private bespoke events which can include blind tastings, food pairings or master classes and they can be educational or entertaining.
During each event, you will learn the fundamentals of wine tasting. We reveal how to taste wine, concentrating on the 3 step approach: look, smell and taste.
You will be given tasting forms with a list of aromas to help you memorise official wine terminology.
Information about producers and the areas of production are provided for clarity and to broaden your knowledge.
Virtual tastings can be informative as well as fun! They can be tailored- made to your preferences or Divino in Vino can assist you with a Virtual Wine Tasting programme you may wish to follow, for example:
Old World vs. New World, which is comparing the same grape varieties from different regions (Burgundy & Oregon) or made in different vinification methods (rosé or sparkling)
Orange is the New White, which is a comprehensive tutorial about the contemporary trend of skin contact wines
Actually, it’s Made Naturally, which concentrates on organic, bio-dynamic and natural wines produced with minimal human intervention
These tutorials help you access the wonderful world of wine online. Tastings are 2 hours per session and include the following:
- 3 bottles of wine selected from our small artisanal producers delivered anywhere in the UK
- Documentation is provided to help you categorise information for later reference
- In depth exploration of wines using the 3 step approach: look, smell and taste
- Background information about the wines and the producers
