CORPORATE EVENTS Italian Wine Tasting

SAVOURING ITALIAN FLAVOURS

“Il vino è il canto della terra verso il cielo.” (Luigi Veronelli, 1926-2004, Italian gastronome, wine critic and intellectual)

SAVOURING ITALIAN FLAVOURS

Our events hosts an exciting line-up of wine and spirits tasting events. With experts on hand to offer information and advice (as e.g.: Paolo Basso, “Best sommelier of the world 2013”), plus paired gourmet canapés, this is perhaps the most enjoyable way to expand your oenological knowledge of Italian rare specialties.

OUR TEAM-BUILDING EXPERIENCES CAN COMBINE YOUR SOCIAL AND

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT GOALS FOR THE GROUP AND EXCLUSIVE VINEYARD

EXCURSIONS IN ITALY

TEAM-BUILDING EXPERIENCES, as e.g.: •  „Wine Blending Workshop“

•  After a tasting introduction to several classical wines, small groups break out to experiment with their own blending, and eventually present their wine and team philosophy. A professional wine judge awards prices for best blend and story.

•  „Blind-Tasting Competition“ •  Sommeliers introduce a set of wines to all participants. Helpful hints are

given for identifying some of the wines, and the groups have to come to agree on the proper order of the wines in front them. Prizes are awarded for results and approach.

EXCLUSIVE VINEYARD EXCURSIONS IN ITALY •  Tours to wine country can be very commercial, with wineries speaking highly

about all their wines and leave visitors with little information about the principles of wine.

•  Let an independent wine educator guide you through wine country and offer your group a fulfilling culinary outing that leaves you with significant insight.
