DETAIL
|
This
is more of a sit-down and pay-attention tasting. Here we mix a lot of one
liners with valuable information for 1 ½ hours. Guests are seated cabaret
style. Aimed at the complete beginner
but be warned, even a wine buff will learn something!
|
Each
round will be introduced with a few eye- popping facts and served with a new
drink and an activity/quiz. The games are designed to teach and entertain, so
no prior knowledge is required. Tables work in teams to earn points for
prizes.
|
Basically,
it is speed dating without the pressure. As the guests circulate, they spend
around 5-8 minutes at each station using the clues to answer the quiz
questions.
