Choose DIY for complete flexibility or virtual tasting for an interactive, expert-led experience.
What is included in a Vinesine DIY wine tasting kit?
Our DIY wine and cheese tasting kit includes five carefully selected 100ml wine samples, complementary cheese pairings, detailed wine information, tasting instructions and tasting note sheets.
The materials help you explore grape varieties, wine regions, aromas, flavours and food pairing techniques.
Everything is designed to support a structured, self-guided wine tasting experience at home, whether you're a beginner or an experienced wine enthusiast.
