Sip & Solve: The Wine Detective
$90 Per Person | 90 Minutes
Step into the world of Sip & Solve: The Wine Detective, an immersive fine wine experience that invites you to taste, analyse, and uncover the secrets within the glass.
Your journey begins with a glass of our traditional method sparkling, The Claremont, as you’re introduced to the winery, its stunning vineyard views, and the local wildlife that surrounds it. You’ll then take a seat in our premium, climate-controlled lounge overlooking the Winery, where artisan cheese boards from local premium suppliers await to begin your tasting experience.
Guided by a systematic approach to tasting, you’ll explore six premium wines, breaking down their appearance, aroma, structure, and flavour using interactive tools designed to awaken every sense. Engage with Wine Appearance Boards and the renowned Le Nez du Vin aroma kit, where you’ll train your nose through an interactive exploration of the fragrances that define great wines.
Once you’ve mastered the art of decoding wine, the tables turn — it’s time to put your detective skills to the test in a mystery wine challenge. Working backwards from sight, scent, and palate, you’ll piece together the story behind a hidden wine, linking what’s in the glass to the winemaking process that shaped it!
Begin with a sparkling pour on arrival before settling into our exclusive upstairs lounge. Our expert staff will guide you through six premium wines, paired gourmet cheeses, and an interactive French aroma board to deepen your tasting experience.
Your experience includes:
- Sparkling wine served on arrival
- Six premium wines expertly guided by our passionate host
- Gourmet cheese board paired to the wines (1 cheese board per 2 guests)
- Interactive French aroma board to explore wine aromas
- Access to our exclusive, climate controlled upstairs lounge
