Wine tasting events let you train your palate.

Want to build your wine knowledge quickly?

There’s no faster way than actively tasting and comparing a variety of wines within a short time frame.

You will get to really experience wine and it’s variety of flavors and aromas. Not to mention, you don’t have to drink in isolation at home. Guests of wine tasting events are brought together by a common interest. If you are looking for events to attend, The French Cellar has regular events that you can sign up for.

There are a few things to observe when attending a wine tasting event. Firstly, eat a decent amount of food before you attend the event. Having a meal before the tasting can help protect you against gastric or stomach pains during the event. Your body will also absorb alcohol much slower on a full stomach, which will allow you you to taste more wines.

Smoking either cigars or cigarettes should also be avoided for a pure tasting experience. The tobacco smell lingers in your mouth after a smoke and that interferes with the aromas from the wine.

The same goes for heavy scents from perfume. If you can, use only perfumes that have light scents. Floral scents from your perfume can confuse your senses. You won’t know whether the scent is from the perfume or wine.

Last but not least, it’s better to avoid driving to the tasting event. Instead, take a taxi instead there.  We tend to overestimate our ability to drive after drinking. You wouldn’t want to put your life or anyone else’s in danger.
