Tips for Creative Wine Tasting Invitations

Wine tasting parties are all the rage these days. At a wine tasting party, different wines are tasted and rated using wine tasting ratings sheets. These parties are a great way to get together with loved ones and taste different types of wines. At the average party you will serve several red, white and rose wines most often with different cheeses. The first thing you will need, even before the wine, is the invitations. There are many great wine tasting invitations available from stationery shops these days. Or, you can make your own using a word processing program.

There are all kinds of invitations from which you can choose. Most of them have a wine theme. Some invitations may feature pictures of wine, wine glasses, wine barrels, grapes and other related images. Others may be more simple. A beautiful and classic invitation would be something like a white card style invitation with a border of grapevines. On the invitation you will need to print what it is for and all the details of the event. An example may be something like, John and Jane Smith cordially invite you to their first annual wine and cheese tasting party,to be held on May 1 at 7 pm, 123 Any Street, Anywhere, USA. RSVP to 555-555-5555. You get the idea -- you can vary the text to suit your purposes.

When hosting a wine tasting party, you can go for something like three different reds and three different whites. Or, you can do what is called vertical tasting. Vertical tasting is where you sample the same wine in various vintages. A horizontal tasting is where you choose the same kind of wine from different wineries. For example, you may choose a 2006 Merlot from five different wineries and taste them all. After each wine is tasted, it is rated on a wine tasting sheet based on various criteria like taste and texture.

Wine tasting invitations are the first part of a successful wine tasting party. You should send out the invitations a few weeks in advance to give people enough time to respond. Once you've received your RSVPs you will have an idea about how much wine and cheese you will need to provide. You may even want to tailor the wine you choose to the preferences of your guests, if you know what their favorite types of wines are.
