About this tour

You'll learn to taste with confidence in a relaxed group setting, whether you're new to wine or experienced. The focus is on reconnecting with your senses and building connections with other participants rather than memorising tasting notes.

What to expect
You'll arrive at a relaxed setting where the session begins with an introduction to how aroma and emotion shape your experience of wine. The specialist guides you through several local wines, focusing on what you actually smell and feel rather than technical terminology. You'll develop practical tasting skills — how to approach a glass with curiosity, what to notice, how your senses work together — all at your own pace.
Throughout the two hours, you'll taste multiple wines while learning to trust your own perceptions and observations. The session wraps up with time to reflect on what you've discovered and connect with other participants. All beverages are included.
