Detroit Wine Tasting
Detroit, the birthplace of Motown, and home to some of the most influential music icons of our time as well as countless theatres and music halls, is fast becoming a favorite destination for trendy young professionals and hip older crowds too. It is this trendy vibe as well as its nickname as the “Renaissance City” that make it the most apt setting for a wine tasting party. Regardless if you are a trendy young professional entertaining business associates and friends or a more established member of the community looking to spend some quality time with friends and family, a classy Detroit wine tasting party is sure be enjoyed by all.
When planning your Detroit wine tasting party, remember to send out invitations long in advance. In such a busy, fast-paced city last minute events fall by the wayside which is not what you want. A good guideline for invitations is to send them out at least two weeks prior to your party. That way you give your guests plenty of time to arrange their schedules and mark your event in their planners.
The actual event itself may sound like a hassle to put together but in truth elegance can be simple and easy to achieve. Something as simple as putting white linen cloths over all your party surfaces immediately lends a professional, elegant quality to your Detroit wine tasting party. Top that off with candles in colors inspired by your wine choices and you are well on your way to hosting an upscale, trendy wine tasting party. On the other hand, if you prefer a more laid back Detroit wine tasting party, simply switch out the white cloths for warmer wine colors and trade the candles for tea-lights. This way the room and ambiance is a more chilled, intimate one but it retains its elegance. In both cases it is a worthwhile endeavor to match specific cheeses with your wines to accentuate the flavors and further tantalize your guests’ taste buds. Also ensure that you have some bread and water on hand so that guests can cleanse their palates between courses of wine.
To take your Detroit wine tasting party to an entirely new level in either choice of ambiance, you can have artwork on display that has subject matter that relates to the wine in some way. Perhaps the place it originated from or artwork native to that place. This will really add to the setting for the evening and allow you and your guests to immerse yourselves in the culture of the wine a little more.
No matter which direction you choose to go in for your Detroit wine tasting party, you will definitely not be disappointed with the results. So go on, invite your friends and family to take a break from Detroit’s pulsating nightlife and the grind of a big city day, to enjoy the simple things in life like good wine and good conversation.
