Corporate Events
The Magic of Wine and Food Pairing
A sit down seminar style event where we pair 5 different wines with a variety of foods and explore the fascinating world of wine and food pairing education. We can do a variety of foods during the event, or we can do a food theme, such as wine and cheese, wine and chocolate truffles, wine and charcuterie, etc., or we can have chef prepared food such as small bites, pizza, or other themed foods. This is approximately 90-120 minutes in length, depending on amount of attendees, and includes several demonstrations that involve how to detect sugar, acid, and tannins of a wine, and how to apply that to how to pair any kind of food in the world. Starting at $65 per person.
Team Wine Blending
Incredibly fun for team building, this is a fun sit-down style team building event where your group is divided into teams. The entire groups is walked through an educational wine tasting of anywhere from 3-4 wines (usually red wines). Once the tasting portion is done, each team has the task of creating their own blend from the wines they just tasted. They then create a proposal and present it to the entire group, to be judged by the wine educator and presenter, and the event organizers who would like to join in on the judging. Each group needs to 1) come up with a unique blend, 2) create a name and label artwork for their blend (I provide poster boards, colored pencils/markers, those types of materials for this portion), 3) determine a price point and target market for their blend, and explain why/how they determined such, and 4) discuss a marketing strategy. Once all the wines and presentations have been judged, a winner is announced and award certificates for best wine, best marketing strategy, best label, and best overall winner are presented.
This runs anywhere from 90-120 minutes, depending on the size of the group. Starting at $75 per person.
The Art of the Wine Dinner
This is a sit down, multi-course wine dinner. These typically begin with a welcome glass of sparkling wine upon arrival with passed crudité. Following is a sit-down dinner of 4 courses each paired with different wines. We walk the guests through each different wine with explanations on grape, region, style, and how it should be properly paired. These can be held at banquet facilities, restaurants, or your own office.
