Shadé’s tastings are often combined with food. For example, with a cheese platter. Or chocolate with wine, a special combination. Now that the barbecue season has arrived, they wine tasting during the barbecue. “It’s so much fun to match the wines to the dishes. I’ll teach you how to do that yourself”, Shadé says enthusiastically.

Shadé’s wine tastings are not standard. There is a game element to it. For example, she made an aroma wheel herself. “In addition to wines, I take other materials with me, such as ingredients to smell. For example, lemon, you are going to smell how exactly that smells and how you can recognize it as a smell in a wine.” You write down your findings on a wine substitute mat that Shadé has developed.

In addition to recognizing the smells and flavors, you will learn about the correct temperatures for each wine. Which combinations with food work best and whether you should decant or not. “There is so much to tell about wine. I regularly get very specific questions about wine, such as which wine you serve with which dish. All questions are welcome and I think a tailor-made program is a great challenge.”

NEW! GIN TASTING Want to try something new? Shadé offers a Gin tasting where you make your own cocktail. You get
to taste four different gins. A typical London Gin, but also a trendy Gin with its own aromas. Of course, the Dutch Gin (Jenever) is not missing. “I tell about history of Jenever. How it came about and how the English took over before giving it their own spin. The origin of Gin.” You taste the Gin with different garnishes, such as rosemary, cucumber and orange that give an additional taste. With the last Gin you make your own cocktail.
