With virtual activities on the rise in 2022, there’s plenty of great ways to keep connected with our friends, family and colleagues whilst we’re living through lockdown.
And for those big foodies out there, the good news is that we’re offering a brilliant selection of food and drink-based activities that are available virtually, so you won’t have to miss out on all the fun of trying new and delicious products!
One food and drink related activity that we’d definitely recommend trying is virtual wine and cheese tasting. What’s great about these activities is that they’re ideal for everyone, no matter what your level of expertise is! So whether you consider yourself a wine and cheese connoisseur or whether you’re new to tasting experiences, you and your group will love these activities which take place in the safety and comfort of your own home.
If you’re looking to learn more about our virtual wine and cheese tasting experiences, then do read on, as we’ve put together a great guide providing you with all the info on the subject that you could possibly need!
How does a virtual wine and cheese tasting experience work?
A virtual wine and cheese tasting experience will take place online via Zoom (other video calling applications may be available) and will be hosted by a fun and friendly wine expert.
You’ll have decided on your group numbers before booking the activity and will have provided the supplier with each person’s details, so that they’re able to receive a tasting kit in the post. This will be sent ahead of the experience, to allow enough time for safe arrival of the package.
The kit will contain everything necessary for each person to enjoy their activity and will include wine, cheese, crackers, tasting notes and a guide sheet. Each of our offered experiences by Inflorescence lasts for 90-minutes, during which time you and your group will be taken on a wine tasting journey, where you’ll discover new and delicious wines, along with some fun facts and background about them.
Who is virtual wine and cheese tasting for?
Our offered virtual wine and cheese tasting experiences are for everyone (providing that they’re over the age of 18!) and make a particularly good activity choice for a variety of occasions, including;
Birthdays
Why not treat someone special to a virtual wine and cheese tasting experience this year for their birthday? Sure, you may not be able to celebrate in person as you’d hoped, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t celebrate at all!
We love the idea of a virtual experience for a birthday event, as it means you can invite friends and family from all over the UK to join in with the fun and celebrations – just imagine the look on your loved one’s face as the big surprise is revealed!
Stag and Hen Parties
Maybe your plans for the big stag and hen party have been postponed? If so, why not arrange for you and your group of friends to enjoy a virtual stag do or hen party online to make up for the disappointment? It’ll be great fun and is a brilliant way for everyone to get to know one another ahead of the physical stag do or hen party!
Team Building
Whether you’re a small team or a large team, a virtual experience is an ideal way to connect during this strange time! Perhaps you’ve got multiple offices across the UK and you’ve never taken part in a mass team building session before? If so, a virtual event is a great way to enjoy your first one, especially one that involves cheese and wine!
How many people can attend a virtual wine and cheese tasting session?
Because these activities take place remotely from your home via Zoom, the maximum number of people able to participate is typically much larger than that of a physical wine and cheese experience. Expect maximum numbers of up to 200 people per class, making it a great activity choice for large families or companies looking to try something different during lockdown
When is the best time to run a virtual wine and cheese tasting session?
We’d say the best time to enjoy a virtual wine and cheese tasting experience would be either in the evening on a weekday or anytime during the weekend! Our provider Inflorescence is flexible and able to offer a variety of dates and times to enjoy any of their virtual products.
Please ensure that you do not drive after enjoying one of these wine and cheese tasting sessions.
