Wine Tasting Experience®: the 2013 calendar

The original tasting solution comes back in Spring: buy your tickets online.

The Wine Tasting Experience®, which along with the traditional tasting also includes a real lesson held by local experts and sommeliers, returns in Spring with a calendar that starts from the 30th March 2013and goes on until the first days of June. On the website www.winetastingexperience.it it is possible to book your event and buy the tickets.

“The crus of the King” and “The taste of the hills” are the two topics that will alternate in the two prestigious locations: WiMu, Wine Museum in Barolo and MODA, Palazzo Martinengo Venue of Monforte d’Alba.

The crus of the King” is a journey marked by the tasting of five different Barolo labels, through different areas of production of the “king” of all wines, while “The taste of the hills” is a moment which introduces the most traditional of all Piedmontese productions, with the tasting of six different wines such as Arneis, Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo, Barolo and Moscato.

Side activities 

Together with the appointments of the Wine Tasting Experience®, side activities will be organized in the two locations that will be hosting the events. In order to attract more parents to the tastings, WiMu is thinking about how to involve children. The solution includes:

Saturday 30th March
A date with Uvetta“: Princess Uvetta will guide the little ones inside the WiMu, discovering the Wine Museum through games and tales. For children aged 4-6, with a snack included at the end of the path.

Saturday 1st June
The Grate Game of Giacomino“: discovering how to make wine by playing a huge game of Snakes and Ladders, on the ground. For children aged 6-12, with a snack included at the end of the activity.

The activity is totally free for all children who arrive accompanied by parents who are taking part in a Wine Tasting Experience®.

On the contrary, MODA gives the opportunity to have an evening dinner with a complete menu at a cost of 40 € (wine not included).
In order to meet the winelovers’ needs, besides the scheduled events, during the entire year it is always possible to organize a completely tailored Wine Tasting Experience®learn more…
