A Wine Tasting Experience involves more than the act of tasting wine. The first stage of wine tasting is discovering how the winery produces wines. Unveil the differences between them, learning more about each grape variety. Test your senses with a Wine Tasting Experience and engage with the richness and variety of flavors one can find in a glass of wine.
A Wine Tasting Experience is a sensory approach and evaluation of wine. While the tradition of wine tasting is as ancient as its production, it was only in the 14th century established a more formalized methodology.
Professional wine tasters, such as sommeliers or buyers for retailers, employ continuously evolving technical terminology to describe the range of perceived flavors, aromas, and general characteristics of a wine.
During a recreational Wine Tasting Experience, one may use similar terminology, usually involving a much less analytical process for a more general, personal appreciation.
A Wine Tasting Experience can be Vertical or Horizontal. A horizontal tasting enables one to compare a range of wines from the same year, emphasizing the difference between wines. A vertical tasting looks at just one wine over a range of years, highlighting the difference in vintages.
Vertical tasting: While traditional tasting typically includes a variety of types and styles, vertical wine tasting includes different vintages of the same type of wine from the same winery. This type of Wine Tasting Experience emphasizes the differences between various vintages.
Horizontal tasting: the wines are from the same vintage but different wineries. Keeping wine variety or type and wine region the same helps emphasize differences in winery styles.
During a Wine Tasting, one can savor splendid wines, connect with history, explore all the senses, and pamper one bud.
If you are about to engage in a Wine Tasting Experience, please remember the wine-tasting etiquette: Do spit and don't drink at a Wine Tasting. We never fill the glass to the brim – a small measure is sufficient. Don't wear perfume. Enjoy the moment and pamper your bud. Don't feel obliged to note every wine you taste, but you may find it helpful to write something about those you particularly like.
Usually, Wine Tasting Tours take place at a Winery, a Wine Lodge, or Wine Bar. Either require a previous reservation to guarantee the visit is private and lectured and includes the best wines.
A Wine Tasting Tour at a Winery tends to be more comprehensive than at a Wine bar or Wine lodge and can take up to 90 minutes. At a winery, one can visit the vineyards and wine-making cellars besides moving through the barrel cellars, where the wines age. Some wineries also emphasize the viticulture methods, including a visit to the strictly restricted laboratory area. A Wine Tasting tour culminates with a lectured wine tasting of a menu of one selection.
Feel the history by visiting magnificent historical buildings, home of the most internationally recognized wines. Some wine lodges display several ancient artifacts to explore as a fascinating collection of paintings and photographs collected over the centuries.
Finally, one may have the chance to visit some of the most impressive and significant bottle collections in Europe. One may discover examples from the mid-17th century and the entire brand's 200 years of history. A Wine Tasting Tour at a Wine lodge in Portugal is also an incredible experience. This historical Wine Tasting Tour can take about 90 minutes and take one back to the wine lodge's foundation date, exploring its historical heritage roots.
