Wine detective Experience
You are the Wine Detective. Working in teams of 4-5 you compete to solve a case using a blind tasting format. After getting an overview of the case, the group is led by a wine expert on how to map a wine’s structure along with some education that will help the teams solve the case. Then each team works independently to solve the case using their new knowledge and clues sheets. The team that gets the most points wins!
Active listening, communicating effectively, problem solving and working as a team are all skills that are reinforced through this fun activity.
Each case can be done as a standalone event or as a program.
The cases
Choose from a variety of cases including:
Case 101 Old World vs. New World Wines Case 110 Major Red U.S. Varietals Case 111 Major U.S. Varietals Case 118 Famous Wines from around The World Case 120 Signature Grapes from around The World Case 125 Sparkling Wines Case 130 Wines of Italy Case 131 Wines of France Case 132 Wines of Spain and Portugal Case 140 Aging of Wines
The details
The wines are chosen by your wine expert to be great representations to help you solve the case. Wines are provided by the winery or venue, and may be shipped to you directly. All materials including worksheets, glasses, clues sheets and prizes are provided. A suggested snack sheet is also provided.
Group sizes up to 100 people can be accommodated, however 15 to 25 provides an exceptional experience.
