Wine Tasting UK

Corporate events have come along way since the MD took everyone down the pub on a Friday afternoon and one particular activity has gained in popularity above all others in recent years and that is corporate wine tasting. Interest in wine has grown substantially over the past few years and more and more people are taking an actual interest in what they’re drinking and where it comes from, we take this interest one step further and facilitate various events around this phenomenon. We are generally recognised as the leaders in providing wine based events for the corporate sector and our client list reflects this. Our events can be used for teambuilding, entertaining key clients or simply for having a good time. Although the overall objective of any team building event or corporate entertainment is serious, the events we facilitate certainly are not. Hosted by wine connoisseurs with a real passion for what they do we are sure you and your staff/clients will find the event beneficial for your required objective and good fun. The real beauty of our form of corporate entertainment is that it can be set up almost anywhere and many businesses choose their premises as a venue, if this is not suitable please feel free to ask for some suggestions as to suitable venues near you. If you have any questions about the service we provide or wish to discuss your requirements further, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.

Wine Tasting London

The popularity of wine can of course be traced back to ancient times where it was seemingly drunk at every possible opportunity but the rise in its popularity over recent years can almost certainly be attributed to the influence of television. The television program that did more for the popularity of wine than possibly any other is without a doubt the BBC programme Food and Drink. This particular show really put wine on the map as an enjoyable pastime and according to some sources this is the time when the subject really entered the national psyche. One of our wine experts Oz Clarke hosted this program and his unbridled enthusiasm for wine tasting UK is said to have contributed to the programmes’ longevity and overall success, he has also won a number of awards and written numerous books about all things wine. As you can probably imagine Oz is one of our most popular choices for corporate wine tasting events so please be sure to contact us and enquire about availability at your earliest possible opportunity. Other wine experts that Grape Debate has the pleasure of working with include Simon Coulshaw, Victor Lanson and Charles Metcalf, these guys really know their grapes and are more than willing to spend an afternoon, evening or even a day extolling the virtues of wine from as far afield as South Africa and California and as close as Bordeaux. With a range of experts as diverse as this you can be sure that your wine tasting event will be like drinking a vintage wine, a time to savour.

Corporate Wine Tasting

As the UK’s premier wine event people we are constantly striving to formulate new wine based events for our clients but one of our events has been a long term favourite since our inception that is our signature Wine Tasting London event, the Grape Debate Wine Tasting Challenge. The game format is relatively simple, guests are usually split into teams of between 4 and 12 people and after a 15 minute introduction on ‘sensory exploration’ (How to taste wine) each team is given a name. A number of mystery wines are given to each team and the objective is work out the grape variety, country of origin and the price of the wine, this is predictably a fun event and can provide a series of hilarious answers. Using our wine tasting guides as tips the guests will be given a brief outline as to what they should be smelling and tasting in the wines, and flavours and aromas as diverse as pineapple, petrol and liquorice are not uncommon! With a glittering array of prizes on offer the competitive spirit is almost certain to awake even the most sedate of people and promote a real team spirit. Wine related quizzes are also incorporated into this particular event and provide an outlet for those with a more academic knowledge of wine and popular and not so popular growing areas and grapes. For further details of this event and much more please call us during office hours or alternately drop us an e-mail at anytime.

Team Building

Trying to find a suitable team building event or corporate away day that the vast majority of your employees will enjoy and gain benefit from is quite difficult. Some of the activities currently being heavily promoted include go-carting, rock climbing and even Grand Prix simulations and although these activities may be suitable for some companies and some employees they are by no means suitable for all. Wine tasting London is generally a social yet team building activity that will go down (literally!) well with the vast majority of employees and corporate clients. For something as vital to a business as team building it always make sense to ascertain the employees’ opinion before making any final plans. Using this method will instil team spirit from the word go and the employess will appreciate being asked for their opinion beforehand. If you are in any doubt as to our ability to facilitate the ultimate wine tasting UK experience for your employees one look at our impressive client list should alleviate any doubts you may have. We are committed to providing a first class service every time and subject to availability the best known names in the world of wine to host the event. If you have just experienced an event facilitated by Grape Debate and are pleased with the outcome please feel free to tell your friends and colleagues about us, the feedback we receive enables us to constantly build upon our success and ultimately provide a more comprehensive service for new clients.
