Taste of the Vine formats have been crafted from a deep base of subject knowledge. However, unlike many tasting-based events, they are not lectures, sales-pitches or guessing-games reliant on guests' prior knowledge. They are a blend of tasting, interactive theatre, comedy and skill development.

All of the formats can be staged as a seated show or standing reception. The level of interaction can also be tailored if you require the activity to be a part of an event rather than the feature.
