Sample a curated flight of wines and learn to identify grape varieties, regions, and vintages by colour, aroma, and palate — wine tasting builds sensory awareness and appreciation for one of the world's most complex and culturally rich drinks.

The Essentials

Hold the glass by the stem to avoid warming the wine with your hand, and pour just a small amount to leave room for swirling. Look at the wine's color and clarity against a white background, then swirl it gently to release the aromas before smelling — try to identify specific scents like fruit, flowers, or oak rather than just noting that it smells good. Take a small sip and let it coat your whole mouth, drawing in a little air to release more flavor, and notice the sweetness, acidity, tannins, and body. Pay attention to the finish — how long the flavor lingers after swallowing (or spitting, common practice at tastings). Taste wines from lightest to fullest-bodied, and cleanse your palate with water or plain bread between different wines.
