How the night unfolds.

01

Masks on

A welcome pour, then everyone slips on a sleep mask. No labels, no prices, no wine snobbery.

02

Taste and guess

Your host guides the group through each blind pour by taste and smell alone. Guests jot down what they notice, just for fun.

03

The big reveal

Masks off, bottles out, and the stories behind each pour. The conversation takes it from there.

Join a Blind Tasting class.

Not at all. The tasting is built for beginners and wine lovers alike. Your host keeps it fun and relaxed, and there is no pressure to get anything right.

Yes. Classes are 60 minutes with a 30-minute break between them, so you can book back-to-back classes in one night.
