Wine Blending Experience
You are the Winemaker. As a group we explore how a winemaker approaches blending and why. We then taste each of the component wines and document their structure. From there each person uses the winemaker blending tools to test and trial blends until they find their personal favorite. This is a very lively experience with high interaction.
Breaking down silos, marketing & branding and working as a team are all skills that are reinforced through this fun activity.
A truly unique experience. This experience can be done as a competition, or to create a personally labeled blend for gifting or fundraising.
Make it yours
There are many options to personalize this experience for exactly what you need:
Team competition for best blend, name and label design. Customer appreciation and networking for your key clients. Reinforce marketing and branding skills. Create your blend to be labeled, bottled and sent as gifts* Learn from the winemaker how he approaches blending*
*certain conditions apply, contact us to learn more
