Going Off The Grid | Special Event
Are we training tasters to think… or just to conform? In this opinionated (and eye-opening) session, our lead educator takes the mic to unpack the unspoken issues behind the tasting grids used in major wine certifications.
Blind Battle | Special Event
What happens when two top tasters trained in completely different systems go glass-to-glass in a blind wine battle?
Watch as they each identify the same mystery wines using their own deductive methods, break down testable markers, and explain how structure, aroma, and technique lead to a final call. Expect bold calls, sharp insights, and maybe a little friendly shade.

Curious about taking your wine knowledge to the next level? In this free, no-pressure session, we’ll walk you through the certification programs offered at The Oenophile Institute, including WSET Levels 1–3, Wine Scholar Guild courses, and specialist programs.

Pastries & Pétillance | Community Event
Pétillance, aka that delightful sparkle in your glass, pairs best with good food and even better company.
