How the 2-hour workshop unfolds
Welcome & urban winery tour
The workshop begins with an immersive tour of the urban winery. You’ll discover the production areas, the winery, the barrel cellar, and the world of Chai Saint Olive. It’s an opportunity to understand the setting in which your own wine blend comes to life.
Interactive wine tasting
You’ll taste several iconic grape varieties from the region:
- Chardonnay
- Viognier
- Gamay
- Syrah
This stage allows you to compare aromatic profiles, understand the differences between the wines, and identify the balance that will guide you when creating your blend.
Wine blending challenge
Next comes the moment to create your very own wine blend. You’ll experiment with different quantities, adjust the proportions, and find the balance that best reflects your taste. The team will guide you throughout the process.
Bottling & labeling
Once you’ve finalized your blend, you’ll bottle your creation. Each participant leaves with their own bottle, complete with a personalized label featuring their name.
Sharing & photos
The workshop ends in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, with time to chat, take photos of your creation, and leave with a unique souvenir.
