A wine tasting class might just be the perfect “new experience” to try with your group. Whether you are entertaining friends or perhaps looking for a unique activity for some corporate visitors, wine tasting events will definitely be a highlight experience for your guests. This said, not all wine classes are created equal and choosing the right wine course to book is crucial to ensure the quality of your experience—whether you want the classic wine tasting experience or something more personalized to your particular group. Here are some things you should consider when trying to book a wine tasting event or class:

1. Do you want a theme? Many wine tasting class hosts will help tailor an experience that you and the rest of your group will enjoy, but they also offer pre-existing programs you can simply pick out of a lineup. Most classes follow a certain theme or motif, depending on wine varieties, price points, styles (e.g., dessert wines, vintage, bold reds or crisp dry whites), and specific regions from which the wines originate. Other providers even offer blind wine tastings or randomized tastings.

2. How many people do you need to accommodate? While a wine tasting class can be as large or as intimate as you want, you will probably enjoy the experience better with a smaller group. Beware wine tastings that welcome too many guests and choose ones where you can control the number of guest members so you can keep the experience intimate.

3. Will the company provide all supplies needed? The last thing you want when booking a wine tasting event is to spend extra on supplies. Choose a company that is equipped and ready with all necessary supplies for the tasting—ranging from glassware to spit buckets, palate cleansers, food, and other fun wine accessories—which should typically be included in your booking price.
