Black Glass Blind Tasting
Book a classAre you looking for a certain challenge when it comes to your next wine tasting adventure? Then this is the class for you. This blind tasting is unlike any other you’ve experienced – it will test your senses instead of your sight. In this tasting, you’ll try to determine a wine’s color without seeing it – what can your nose and mouth reveal to you that your eyes don’t? If you can’t see the color, how difficult will it be to identify if the wine is red or white? The answer will surprise you! Using only your sense of “smell” and “taste,” we challenge you to find the color in our black glass.
Duration: 60 minutes
Price: $55

Ami was born and raised here in Livermore. As a child, Ami and her friends would ride their bikes up to the dam of Lake Del Valle, always noticing Wente Vineyards right in her back yard. “It is such a beautiful place. To see Livermore grow and become a wine lover’s playground, why not make it the office that I come to everyday?”
