To have the best wine tasting experience, it is important to be open-minded and be willing to try new wines.
Our sommeliers are experienced and well informed and will help you discover new tastes and styles. Try to have a clean palate and avoid wearing heavy perfume, eating mints, smoking, consuming sweet beverages/candy/ice cream, and spicy foods before tasting.
