With the smell of Christmas in the air, participate in interactive mulled wine tasting games, which involve all your team. Learn new skills taught and above all, bond whilst having fun.
Mulled wine is a warming, aromatic drink made with a rich blend of ingredients that evoke the essence of winter. The base is a robust red wine, full-bodied enough to stand up to the infusion of spices. To this, sugar or honey is added, providing a touch of sweetness that balances the wine’s tannins. The heart of mulled wine lies in its spices: cinnamon sticks, cloves, and star anise create a fragrant, spicy warmth, while fresh slices of oranges or lemons add a bright, citrusy note. Some recipes may also include a dash of nutmeg, ginger, or even a splash of brandy for added depth and complexity. As the wine gently simmers, these ingredients meld together, creating a drink that is both comforting and festive, perfect for a team building activity on a cold winters evening.
A glass of Glühwein (mulled wine) is served upon arrival to get everybody’s taste buds warmed up and ready for the interactive experience to come.
Once guests are seated, one of our bartenders will introduce the team and run through an overview of the programme – which prepares guests for the fun learning ahead. There will be an introduction and brief description of each of the major types of mulled wine, followed by a tutorial on how to taste, using the reception drink as a guide.
Now things become serious! There will be a total of 5 ‘blind’ tasting challenge rounds featuring a Glühwein, Cherry & Almond mulled wine, Chocolate mulled wine, Non alcoholic mulled wine and a spiced cider– each picked in a random order. After sampling each wine, it is up to the teams to try and guess the type of mulled wine, country of origin and provide three tasting note descriptions from a variety of flashcards. Each round will be marked out of 5 for each correct answer.
There will be quiz questions between each tasting, in order to give time to enjoy each mulled wine!
