GROUP & TEAM-BUILDING ACTIVITIES

Wine and food are great additions (as well as mood-enhancers) to team-building activities. These events are ideal for promoting mingling and interacting among participants. These activities could be done in conjunction with a dinner.

Bull’s Blood from Eger and Szekszárd is an iconic Hungarian red blend. This wine interactive wine blending activity involves mixing different types of wine, each of which bring something desirable, to create the perfect combination. Guests can try their hand at the art of blending while getting to know each other and working together as a team. The event starts with an explanation of Bull’s Blood and an introduction (and tasting) to each varietal used in the blend. Each group then receives a portion of each wine, measuring equipment, and blending rules. At the end, one person from each team presents the finished product to the whole group. The sommelier judges which group produced the best blend.

Why do wine professionals sniff and swirl? In this fun and hands-on introduction to the proper way to taste wine our sommelier guides participants in tasting techniques, helping them analyze what exactly they are smelling and tasting. They will get hints on how to distinguish between different wines, characteristics, and regions, all while tasting some excellent Hungarian wines. Guests will be encouraged to discuss what they see, smell, and taste in each wine, and by the end of the event they will be able to confidently participate in a blind tasting with the rest of the group.

This event, which includes several games, pits teams against each other to see who can come up with the best answers. There will be trivia questions in different categories (including: Hungary, wine, food, and Hungarian food and wine), blind wine tastings, and more … of course with plenty of delicious wine flowing throughout the evening.

Our venue is also ideal for more informal parties where the focus is on socializing with friends and colleagues. For groups of up to 30 people we can set up a cold buffet and an open wine bar.
