Speed Tasting
Our Speed Tasting is the ideal team building activity to share a tasting during an aperitif or a relaxing one-hour session.
Enjoy a fun-filled moment by participating in various team challenges: quizzes, aroma identification, mime, and blind tastings, all in a friendly atmosphere.
Guided by their sommelier host, the different groups will compete for an hour across four distinct challenges. The quizzes are combined with tasks such as aroma recognition, mime, and blind tastings.
Teams will correct each other, accompanied by the sommelier host, who will enrich the experience with targeted explanations and anecdotes, making this moment fun, sociable, and educational.
The Challenges of Speed Tasting
In just one hour, the different groups will compete in three accessible challenges.
-
During the blind tasting, you'll be tasked with identifying the origins of the sampled products. For this challenge, you can choose from various themes: French wines, wines of the world, Belgian beers, bubbles & champagne, chocolates, fruit juices, or cheeses. Looking for an extra challenge? Opt for the Cheese & Wine Pairing or Beer & Cheese Pairing for even more surprises!
-
Aroma recognition highlights your sense of smell, requiring you to identify aroma bottles by scent. Fruity, floral, spicy notes... it’s up to you to decide!
-
The mime game will test your imagination and guarantee laughter and unforgettable memories.
Depending on the chosen theme for the blind tasting, the activity will be interspersed with a quiz tailored to the theme. It’s a fun way to learn while having a good time.
