The Wine Tasting Challenge

Wine is bottled poetry - Robert Louis Stevenson



Wine for long has been considered the drinks of the gods. Unfortunately, there is a lot of mystique and confusion about the drink - most of which is to do with limited awareness.

FOCUS Adventure brings together a friendly, entertaining and enjoyable wine tasting challenge that is right for just about any corporate team - the only qualifying criteria being an interest & curiosity about wines and everything vinous.

Unlike any other drink, a glass of wine engages all of ones senses:

• The appearance (color, aspect, the swirl)
• The aroma in-glass of the wine
• The taste it offers in mouth and the sensation it creates
• And finally the aftertaste

This innate richness of the drink brings together a delightful possibility of merging a gastronomic experience with a team building experience like no other. Ideally suited for smaller teams of around 25 people, we recommend The Wine Tasting Challenge generally as an ideal evening event, done just before dinner.


How it flows:
As guests arrive, sparkling wine is served to welcome everybody. We do like to recommend some nibbles at this stage as guests may not have eaten for a while. A FOCUS wine host then welcomes everybody to the evening and instantly puts guests at ease.

The host starts the program with a brief history of wine, followed by a tasting that incorporates the various facets that go on to give each wine a distinct personality.

A selection of 4 red and 4 white wines are tasted. The host also guides the teams on which wine goes with which kind of wine - and why. Each team is then challenged to multiple choice questions - help is available, but nothing comes so easy - and so, the team needs to successfully negotiate some interesting challenges to win the "help" they need.

Depending on the time available, teams are also challenged to come up with memorable marketing campaigns for the wines they draw, that is not only great fun for all - but also helps anchor the learning about the different wines.

Through an immersive experience peppered with light banter, laugher & some amusing challenges, the host ensures that all participants have thoroughly enjoyed a sampling of all the wines and learn something about wine as they have gone along.

The FOCUS Adventure Wine Tasting Challenge is both fun and participative. The team building event encourages creativity, cooperation, experimentation, and team collaboration in a whole new, unique way.
