The Aroma Lab

Are you just beginning your wine journey? Maybe you have tried a few wines but don't know exactly what you like and or why. The BlacOak Tasting room will be transformed into a lab where our guests will participate in a series of comparisons designed to test and strengthen their sense of smell. Our sommelier host will discuss the varying aromas and present wines in which these aroma profiles appear.  The guest with the strongest nose for our selected wines and spices will receive a wine gift to help aid them on their wine journey. 

We encourage all guests to arrive on time. This event will begin on time and arriving late will affect the results of the experiment.

What to expect:

• Upon arrival, all guests will receive a free covid-19 rapid test. This is done in an effort to reduce the spread of covid-19. We understand that it is extremely difficult to participate in a wine tasting experience while wearing your mask. Rapid testing will be performed upon arrival at no additional cost. Guests will have to complete a consent form that requires you to list either your insurance member number or social security number for state billing.
