Where in the World? Blind Wine Tasting Challenge

Hertfordshire Wine School is running a blind tasting challenge at The White Rooms on Wednesday 2 December, from 19:00 to 21:00. The premise is simple: six wines, all from one mystery country, with the origin kept under wraps. You work your way through them, comparing aromas and flavours and following clues along the way to figure out where they come from. It's a bit of a puzzle, so you'll be relying on your senses and a fair bit of deduction to crack it.

One thing worth knowing upfront is that you don't need any prior wine knowledge to take part. The school describes it as being for wine lovers of all levels, so it's as much for someone who just enjoys a glass as it is for someone who knows their way around a wine list. There are a few nibbles served alongside the tasting, too, so you've got something to eat while you're working through the glasses.

The evening is run by Hertfordshire Wine School, part of the Local Wine School Network, which they describe as the world's fastest-growing network of independent wine schools, offering fun, accessible courses at all levels. The tasting takes place at The White Rooms, The Alban's London Road venue for public tastings, networking and hosted events. The tasting room is on the first floor and is accessible by stairs only, so keep that in mind if you're planning your evening. The session runs from 19:00 to 21:00, and tickets are £45.
