What to expect
You'll spend two hours in an intimate, Rome-inspired setting working through a structured tasting. The sommelier introduces each wine whilst your notebook prompts you to observe colour, smell the nose, and taste methodically. Between wines, artichoke dishes cleanse your palate and showcase how the vegetable complements different styles. This isn't passive sipping—you're actively learning the language of wine evaluation. Expect to take notes, ask questions, and develop confidence in describing what you're experiencing.
