Work with your Venue/Logistics Chair to create a fabulous environment for wine tasting.
Two glasses for vintners (to taste wines before they pour) and four extra glasses at each table to cover glasses that are lost by guests. Rent or buy glassware with a thin/flat lip and a large bowl to allow for vigorous swirling, minimum 10 oz. Examples of preferred glassware: Target.com Riedel 12.6 oz. Wine Glass Dump Bucket: not transparent (around 2 liter size should do fine) Ice Tub (basically a bus tray): to hold four to six bottles of wine (some vintners bring two white wines) Ice: 40lb bag with 20lb back-up (adds up to 480lbs of ice + 80lbs for each non-wine beverage bucket) Be sure you make a plan for how you’ll deliver all the ice to each of the stations. You’ll want a rolling ice caddy like they have at most hotels or another plan for transporting it such as a dolly or rolling ice chest or even a child’s wagon. Water pitcher Cloth napkins (at least two) Umbrella (if your are outdoors in the sun) to keep all wine out of direct sun. Signage: You can do as much or as little as possible. You don’t have to spend a lot but at least have something! Worst Case Scenario: Tent card or 8 x 10 with brand name Standard expectation: Sign holder with name and logo How to be a rock star: Poster, backlit vinyl signage, mounted poster, or banner When multiple brands at station? Include logo for each brand Good signage makes a good impression and makes the wineries happy!
