Top Social Event Suggestions for Epicure

Imagine limitless activities included a wine tasting party to make your time even more enjoyable. A crazy dinner at your garden, maybe a tent camping to be alone with nature or a home party with your bestie...

No one needs to be a wine expert to attend or host a wine tasting party. The main objective is to encourage people to express what they like or don't like in the wine - because essentially this journey is a matter of personal taste. Wine tasting parties should be a journey that makes tasting accessible and enjoyable for everyone, no matter how much you know about wine.

Wine tasting is serious business in some cases. Generally, enjoying wines and learning something new should be the main goal along the way on this journal. The last thing we want is to make participants feel scared or unable to contribute. So, don't take too much seriousness at a wine tasting party, and you should make sure everyone enjoys the tasting instead of talking about what are the 'rights' or 'wrongs'. The main thing to remember is: make it fun. First of all, decide which of the following wine tasting party ideas is right for you:

Is the Wine star or co-actor of your party?

A wine tasting event can be the general theme of a party, or a mini wine tasting event can be added to a different party theme within the legal framework. In other words, is wine star or co-actor of your wine party?

This preference will affect the choice of served foods with the wine and when it will be served. For example; If wine tasting is the main focus of the party, it is recommended not to serve any beverages (alcoholic or non-alcoholic except water) before the wine tasting begins. It will increase the effectiveness of the tasting if everyone starts with a clean palate. During or after the wine tasting, you can move onto to appetizer, meal, snack or dessert.

Sometimes wine tasting events may seem a little plain and quite serious to you. If your guests are special and you want to give them a unique experience, all you need is a little bit of imagination. If you have chosen wine as a co-actor for the event, here are some different activity suggestions that you can make fun with wine tasting!

Camp Lovers Here!

You can set up a big barbecue in nature with campfire without worrying about smoke like you are at home. Sausages, mushrooms and many more delicious grilled dishes wait for you. Especially when it cooked in a wood fire. You can add special flavours to your camp menu and make perfect food-wine matches with these.

Grilled red meat will pair perfectly with bodied reds such as Zinfandel, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. If you prefer white meat, you can choose grilled chicken or fish and whites with a rich fruit flavour and medium acidity such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris. If you pair with more spicy and fatty meats such as sujuk, salami, and sausage, you can pick wines with fruity and earthy flavours such as Grenache or Syrah.

Today is a great day for picnic!

If the weather like perfect for a picnic this weekend and you are thinking of a daily activity, here are some tips for you!

For an easy and elegant picnic, you can choose several types of cheese, fruits, bread and some savoury snacks. Whether the wines red or white or champagne, you will have fun while you try new good flavours. For example;

Cheddar cheese goes well with Cabernet Sauvignon's cherry and black currant aromas,
White Zinfandal pairs well with salty snacks,
Champagne, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc with Fruits or Vegetables are worth to try.

You can bring the cinema to your home

You should definitely add "a summer night cinema" activity to your to-do list this summer. Popcorn, snacks and wine are of course on the house this night. All you need for a night like this;

Movie of the Night
Aperitifs, Popcorn, Chips etc.
Projector,
White curtain/wall
HDMI Cable
Speaker
Large carpet
Pillow, pouffe, blanket

Before the movie starts, do not forget to choose your favourite wine. Chardonnay goes great with butter popcorn. Also, don't forget to try champagne and other sparkling wines, especially plain popcorn. Pinot Gris in whites and Cabernet Sauvignon in reds will perfectly match with chips and balance the oily and salty flavours of the chips on your palate. Merlot can pair well with onion-flavoured chips or sour cream sauce. I highly recommend trying Zinfandel with barbecue chips :)

Special days are comming!

We have a few suggestions for you when your goal is to have fun and experience different flavours without trying to define the aromas or the type of grape.

You can find yourself taking a break at wine tasting stations created according to their country. For example, you can ask each of your friends to choose the wine from a different country, then have a tasting event with the special appetizers.

How about to discover the local wines in an atmosphere decorated with traditional elements without going too far? In this organization, the best pairings with wines should be traditional tastes.

Whether you're planning a virtual or social distance celebration, make sure you open a good wine for this moment. Be sure that you chose the right wine that suits your taste. Remember, the value of a wine is more hidden in its story than in its price. So try a few different options to find your unique wine. Even if your first wine failed, don't be afraid to try new ones.

A mini tasting party would be great to talk about wines you've liked in the past and get suggestions on other wines you should try based on your personal taste. Alternatively, adding softer cocktails or other low alcohol drinks to the menu instead of hard drinks keep you refresh. The most popular option is "Sangria" especially in summer. This refreshing drink is the staple summer cocktail that never goes out of style. You can also try "Kir", a mixture of white wine and Crème de cassis, and "Mimosa" cocktail, which made with champagne and usually orange juice.

Of course, our imagination has no limit. As long as we never stop dreaming and neglect to share our dreams come true. If you have any suggestions for a dreamy activity, do not forget to write a comment. Hope your good memories stay forever. See you in the next post. 👂👃👄👅.
