Whether you are looking to improve your knowledge, have a fun evening with friends or just to taste some superb wines, we can create an event that is informative and fun to suit your needs.
Below are some suggested tasting ideas that we have loved doing in the past. However, if you have a specific theme in mind let us know and we will create a bespoke tasting just for you!
This is a great way to get a fantastic insight into a specific grape, region or country that you either love or want to know more about. These are informal, interesting and friendly tastings for people of all levels of knowledge. Popular topics in the past have included:
- A Tour through France
- How to taste wine
- Understanding Burgundy
- Grande Marque Champagne
- The new world
- The wonderful Pinot Noir
- The many styles of the Loire
- Bordeaux
- Noble Grapes
- Wine Evolution
At Jascots we will find any excuse for a fun game. We especially enjoy:
Call my bluff
This is just like the show only much more fun because it includes wine! Different members of the Jascots team will try to convince you that they are telling you the true facts about the wines you are tasting; it’s your job to decide which of us is honest and which of us aren’t!
Oldy versus Upstart
This is a blind tasting where you will be presented a range of very traditional wines alongside new world equivalents. In teams you can work together to figure which wine is from where. A fantastic opportunity to show off your knowledge to all your friends.
Guess the Price
This is another really fun blind tasting where you will taste expensive and famous wines alongside some inexpensive and less well known wines. Trust us, picking which is which is not as easy as you may think.
Lots of us know which foods we like and which wines but it can get a bit confusing knowing what to eat with which wine! Our food and wine pairing evenings are the perfect way to sort it all out. If you would like to know the general rules of food and wine pairing or about a specific wine or food we can give you the answers with a fun, informative and truly delicious tasting. Our recommendations include:
- The pairing of food and wine
- Chocolate and wine
- Cheese and wine
- Seafood and wine
