Interactive Wine Tasting Workshop
Step into a hands-on sensory journey through wine
You won’t just taste wine — you’ll explore it through smell, memory, and guided discovery in a relaxed, interactive workshop designed for all levels.
What happens during the workshop
1. Awakening the senses
We begin with a guided sensory warm-up using curated aroma vials.
You’ll explore familiar scents, challenge your perception, and learn how your nose recognises aromas.
A playful, surprising start that immediately brings everyone into the experience.
2. Discovering the language of wine
Next, we connect aromas to wine.
You’ll learn how key grape varieties express their signature scents, how regions influence style, and how to recognise the main wine faults — explained clearly, without technical overload.
3. Interactive guided tasting
Now the tasting becomes deeper and more focused.
Using a simple, intuitive approach, you’ll explore a curated selection of wines, understand balance and structure, and begin to recognise the personality behind each glass.
Discussion is encouraged, questions welcome, and discoveries shared.
4. A shared sensory experience
By the end, your group won’t just have tasted wine — you’ll have trained your senses, sharpened your perception, and experienced wine in a completely new way.
Relaxed, engaging, and memorable.

How the experience unfolds
1. Sensory awareness warm-up
We begin with an interactive sensory introduction using curated aroma vials.
This playful and engaging start helps you recognise familiar scents, understand how your nose perceives aromas, and prepares your senses for the tasting ahead.
2. Guided tasting of premium wines
You’ll taste a selection of wines sourced by you — either from your own cellar or purchased with Thierry’s guidance.
This creates a more personal and meaningful tasting, whether you want to:
• Explore wines from your own collection
• Compare wines around a theme (Pinot Noir, Shiraz, regions, styles)
• Discover new wines selected with expert guidance
• Create a special tasting for a celebration or event
Step by step, Thierry guides you through aromas, structure, and balance, helping you understand each wine in a simple and intuitive way.
3. Shared discoveries
Discussion flows naturally throughout the session, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
By the end, your group won’t just have tasted wine — you’ll have sharpened your senses, gained confidence, and experienced wine in a deeper, more memorable way.
