Wine Workshop 1: Let Me Introduce You to Your Tongue: Introduction to Tasting Wine Like a Pro

Debra's all-encompassing introduction to wine tasting. Tongue-tingling exercises illustrate key wine quality factors such as acidity, sweetness, tannin and alcohol. Experiment with lemon juice, sugar and tea to "map" the tongue. Learn the principles of wine selection, develop skills in assessing wine quality, refine your knowledge of the six “noble grape varieties" and grasp key concepts like intensity, complexity and length. Capped off with “how to bluff your way through a wine dinner."

A fun and informative practical introduction to tasting wine like the pros, with tongue-tingling exercises!

“The wine of kings and the king of wines," Champagne represents celebration, luxury and indulgence! Debra will equip you with the expertise to choose the best way to toast each and every occasion. Discover the history of bubbles, winemaking techniques and interesting facts on the world's most renowned producers. Engage in practical tasting exercises and learn evaluation skills while sampling some fine Champagne and sparkling wine.

Learn the art of tasting bubbles from around the world, and how to choose the best way to toast each and every occasion.


Vinspiration Seminar 1: Breaking the Wine Glass: Celebrating Female Success Stories

Women are at last making their mark locally and internationally on the traditionally-male dominated wine industry. Teaming up with the high achievers in the wine, handpicked preeminent Hong Kong business women and leaders from a range of industries share the stories of their rise to success, overcoming gender-based barriers, discuss gender equality in their fields, workshop ideas for egalitarianism at the top, and much more, all over a glass of wine.

A true celebration of women's achievements in this city and beyond: the ultimate inspiration as part of International Women's Day.


Vinspiration Seminar 2: Taking the Lead: 5 Unstoppable Women on How to Thrive in the Future

Join the powerhouse female leaders, entrepreneurs and trendsetters across a range of “future-focused" fields (think tech, media, travel and more!) for predictions on the growth and change of these trending sectors, as well as a discussion of the unique position women are in to thrive in these industries, as we lunge headfirst into the next decade and beyond.

This lively debate will feature a “who's who" of the region's most respected women, pooling their views and ideas for a dynamic, cutting-edge discussion!
