A blind wine-smelling game night in Dubai, hosted in small groups, built for anyone who likes a little competition with their cheese plate.

Wine Aroma Experience

Get First Access

A blind wine-aroma kit, the kind used to train sommeliers. Two teams, a room of up to 10, a couple of hours of smelling, guessing, and competing. Cheese, dessert, and real wine on the side. You leave with a few aromas you'll actually remember, and a better night than you expected.

❋ The Kit

Le Nez du Vin is a wine aroma kit used to train sommeliers, 12 aromas specific to red or white wine, handcrafted in France. It's the same tool used to teach how grape and region shape what actually ends up in your glass.

❋ The Evening

You arrive to a glass of wine. Once everyone's settled, you split into two teams for the game. After the rounds, plates come out, cheese, dessert, and more wine, while the room keeps talking. Up to 10 people, a couple of hours, hosted in Dubai.

❋ The Aroma Game

Two teams, blind aromas, real competition. Each round, a vial gets passed around, your team smells it, talks it out, and guesses. Some rounds flip the format, one or two people have to describe the smell to their own team while the other team watches, think Time's Up, but for your nose.

❋ What You Leave With

A few new aromas you'll actually recognize next time you're holding a glass, a small take-home guide from the night, and a memory better than most dinner parties.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No. Some of the best guesses come from people who've never taken a tasting note in their life, curiosity and a good imagination matter more than training.

  • You're on a team, not on your own. Most rounds are a group effort, you talk it out together.

  • Roughly two to three hours, game included.

  • Both. Two teams, real points, bragging rights, but nobody's taking it too seriously.

  • Wine is included in your ticket and scales with the group, so however many of you show up, there's enough to go around.

  • You can still play, the vials are aromas, not alcohol, so the game itself doesn't require a sip. Just let us know ahead of time, and we'll make sure you've got something else to enjoy alongside everyone.

Spots are limited, and they go to this list first.
