A fast paced tasting show and auction where guests assess their wines in groups before placing bids. Have you ever wondered whether the high prices paid for certain wines were purely hype and rarity? In this challenge we cut through the reputation and snobbery that commonly affects wine prices, allowing guests to assess for themselves the quality, age and price of a range of mystery wines, before bidding for them in a mock auction against other teams.

'This is the fifth event that Taste of the Vine has run for my client group. Each new event surpasses the last in overall product quality. Guests are continually impressed with the challenge element and the knowledge they gain in participating, whilst never being intimidated by any lack of personal knowledge' MERRILL LYNCH

This format is highly suited to client events, networking, press events and more formal conferences, etc.

All can be run: either as a seated show with a great deal of participation, audience interaction, quizzes and other appropriate entertainment elements, or at stalls at a reception or function where the entertainment is a feature, rather than the main event.

Still entirely participative and fully interactive, the Game Show formats have a number of inter-tasting elements for the audience. The options include 'uncorked' (a frenetic decanting challenge), 'I'm getting Gooseberries' (aroma detection), 'Whose Wine is it Anyway?' (wine creation) and a host of fun quizzes.

The entertainment can be written around your team and company, just provide a little background info!


Whilst the Interactive Tastings and Game Show formats contain all that is needed to engender a great deal of interaction between participants, leading to corporate relation development, the events can be geared to suit objective-driven teambuilding events.

We start with your desired outcome and work back to create a format that will positively develop communication and engagement within your teams.
