About Us

The Tasting Class is the UAE’s first company dedicated to bringing people together through educational and entertaining food and beverage experiences.  Our fun, interactive tasting sessions are designed to teach, entertain, and connect — always with storytelling at their core. Led by passionate, certified hosts, every experience leaves guests a little wiser and a lot happier.

​

Home Tasting Experiences
A professional sommelier brings everything you need — including premium glassware — to deliver a wine or whisky lesson perfectly suited to your group’s vibe, whether serious, silly, or somewhere in between. Tastings can be guided or gamified, and guests can choose from our popular themes or request a bespoke wine, whisky, gin, cocktail, or beer experience showcasing premium selections from around the world. We can also facilitate bespoke programs, perfect for when you’re opening up the cellar to share your most special bottles. 

​
