Events
– Experience –
Since 2015, Taste Exchange has organized and hosted a number of wine events for both consumers and professionals. A certified wine educator, Anna has delivered WSET 3 courses in both Spanish and English, corporate team building activities, courses about technical English for Spanish winemakers as well as fun and informative events for consumers.
✧
The Challenge:
While living in Madrid from 2011 to 2019, Anna discovered there was a gap in the market for fun and approachable events about wine in English.
Events were often stuffy, using low quality or old-fashioned wines or hosts did not have the level of English to deliver a tasting confidently to an international audience.
