Wine activity: a sensory challenge around wine and cheese
An ideal format for seminars and corporate events
This activity is particularly suited to company groups who want to share a moment that is both fun and enriching. Perfect for seminars, it fits easily into your schedule, whether:
- in the late afternoon, to end a working day in a relaxed way,
- or in the early evening, just before dinner, to start the festivities in a warm atmosphere.
The goal is simple: to share a sensory experience that combines challenge, pleasure, learning and laughter.
A team challenge that calls on all the senses
Participants are split into teams who compete in successive challenges combining taste, smell, logic and teamwork. Led by our sommeliers, the activity is dynamic and participatory, ensuring everyone gets fully involved.
Here is how the activity works:
1. Blind wine tasting
Three carefully selected wines are offered for tasting. Participants must guess their main characteristics: grape variety, region, style, or even appellation. The aim is not to be an oenologist, but to use your senses and think together.
2. Blind cheese tasting
Same principle with three cheeses tasted blind, with a range of textures and aromas. The teams must recognise and describe them, relying on their sensations and memories.
3. Wine and cheese pairing
Each team then tries to match the wines and cheeses tasted earlier to create perfect pairings. This challenge calls on intuition as much as cooperation within the group.
4. Aroma recognition challenge
Now it’s the turn of the nose: three aromas from the wine aroma wheel must be identified blind. This stage stimulates olfactory memory and often sparks unexpected and amusing exchanges between participants.
5. Quiz on wine, cheese and taste
A final quiz completes the challenge, testing the teams’ general knowledge in a good-natured spirit.
Final ranking and prize-giving
At the end of the activity, the results of the various challenges are added up and the teams are ranked. The members of the winning team receive a symbolic prize, and everyone ends the activity in good spirits, sharing the products tasted.
A tailor-made, convivial and memorable activity
One of the strengths of this activity is its flexibility: it can be adapted to the venue, the time available, the profile of the participants or the group’s level of knowledge. Whether you are curious beginners or seasoned epicureans, everything is done to make sure everyone enjoys taking part.
This activity is ideal for:
- building team spirit,
- showcasing everyone’s talents,
- taking a gourmet, interactive break,
- sharing an authentic moment around the pleasures of wine and food.
