Wine Tasting in Historic Ybor: Five wines with small bites

Taste five wines and learn what makes each one different

A 90-minute wine tasting in Historic Ybor where you sample five distinct wines, each paired with small bites, and learn tasting techniques from a certified host. The session covers wine production basics, how to evaluate by sight and smell, and how food complements wine. Minimum age is 21. The experience suits both newcomers and people who already know wine.

The experience

You start with a warm welcome and a quick primer on how wine is made and the language people use to describe it. Then you move through five wines, each one chosen to show you a different style, grape variety or region. A certified host guides you through evaluating each pour by sight, smell and taste, covering body, acidity, tannins and the words that actually fit what you're drinking.

Small bites arrive with each wine, picked to show how food and wine work together. The host answers questions as they come up, and you get space to share what you taste and figure out what you actually like. The whole thing runs 90 minutes, so it fits into an afternoon or evening without eating the rest of your day.
