Wein mit allen Sinnen: Sensorik-Seminar

In the organizer's words:

Smell. Taste. Discover.

In the historic setting of the Alte Westend Apotheke, sommeliers Christian Hiery and Verena Beck invite you to a special evening that combines science, craftsmanship and a playful experience. Instead of dry theory, you can expect an interactive workshop in which you will sharpen your senses, decode aromas - and get to know wine in a new way.

The focus is on the three aroma categories that give each wine its unmistakable signature:

Primary aromas - the essence of the grape: berries, citrus or herbs

Secondary aromas - the work of the winemaker: yeast notes, butter, brioche

Tertiary aromas - the magic of maturity: tobacco, leather, dried fruit

With test aromas from our "sensory laboratory", you embark on a search for clues like a perfumer. You train your nose and palate before directly applying what you have learned in guided wine rounds and small blind tasting challenges. You will not only learn to recognize aromas, but also to put them into words - a key to even more enjoyment and confidence when choosing wine.

The course - 4 hours full of aha moments:

1st Arrive & get in the mood - aperitif and first sensory exercise

2. aroma quickstart - introduction to primary, secondary and tertiary aromas

3rd aroma course - smelling and guessing stations with test samples

4. wine round 1: primary aromas in the glass - freshness, fruit, herbs

5. wine round 2: Discovering secondary aromas - from the cellar to the nose

6. wine round 3: experience tertiary aromas - matured treasures and their stories

7. conclusion - open tasting, exchange & tips for your own sensory training

Duration: approx. 4 hours

Location: Alte Westend Apotheke, Munich

Our promise: No frontal lecture, but an evening in which you immerse yourself with all your senses, expand your vocabulary and go home with a new, sharpened view of wine.
