Corporate Seminars

Looking for a better way to bring your team, clients or partners together? A guided tasting does what a dinner alone can’t. People talk, compare notes, argue a little and leave knowing more than when they arrived.

Sébastien Gavillet leads every seminar personally. He is a Swiss Master Distiller and Master Blender with more than 25 years in wine and spirits, Co-Founder and Master Distiller of NOCO Distillery, Chief Operating Officer of Wine Aromas – Le Nez du Vin, and an examiner and panel chair for the Council of Whiskey Masters. You get a working professional, not a script.

How It Works

• At your venue: we come to your office, event space or restaurant.
• Built around you: format, length, wines and depth are tailored to your group and your goals.
• Hands-on: aroma training kits, blind tasting and guided comparison keep everyone involved.
• For any occasion: client entertaining, team events, conferences, holiday parties and incentive trips.
