During the last few years, the way we gather for a wine tasting has changed. Some vineyards are allowing the public back in for wine tastings, but you can host or attend a virtual event in the meantime. Let\u2019s explore what to expect during your first virtual wine tasting event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What Is a Virtual Tasting?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s first explore what defines a virtual wine tasting event. We gather information about the budget, event date, wine preferences, and the number of participants. The host fills out a request on our website to contact our planning team.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At WTSO, you can have a <\/span>virtual wine tasting with a sommelier<\/span><\/a> or without. These are fantastic because it\u2019s the best way to try new wines with friends and family members who don\u2019t live nearby. We\u2019ll ship out the wine to each individual so everyone receives the exact wine that\u2019s needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Expect a Theme<\/span><\/h2>\n

The theme will decide which wines you\u2019ll be sipping for the evening. A few common themes for wine tastings are regional, blind, vertical, and horizontal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Regional \u2013 Focuses on a specific region of wines, and no wines from outside that area are featured.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Blind \u2013 Guests will try a variety of wines and then guess the country and type of wine they sipped.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Vertical \u2013 A tasting that requires more effort because it focuses on a single producer across a range of years. You\u2019ll get to know a particular winemaker exceptionally and how their style has changed over time.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Horizontal \u2013 Focuses on different winemakers during one specific year. It allows quite a bit of flexibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Expect a Great Time<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Even though everyone isn\u2019t in the same place, it\u2019s still an excellent way to gather a group together. You\u2019ll enjoy tasting new wine and discussing what flavors you experience. Don\u2019t let the word \u201cvirtual\u201d discourage you from joining your friends for a fun evening of wine tasting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    There isn\u2019t much to expect during your first virtual wine tasting event besides wine and great conversation. It\u2019s a great way to relax after a long week. Wines \u2018Til Sold Out will supply the wine, and your friends and family will provide excellent discussion. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
