Wine Academy - Let’s discover the secrets of wine tasting together!
Eger is a city of wines, where every single sip tells a story about the landscape, the sunshine, and the magic that unfolds deep within the cellars. But do we all understand this language? At the Imola Hotel Platán, we believe that the enjoyment of wine is not just a privilege for the select few. Here, wine tastings and wine dinners have always represented the pinnacle of gastronomy, but now we’re starting our exploration from the very basics.
Becoming a wine expert isn’t snobbery—it’s an experience
Many people are hesitant to try serious wine tasting because they feel they don’t know anything about it. “This is white, this is red, and this is rosé. Some are sweeter, and some are a bit tart”—that’s often the extent of their knowledge, and there’s nothing wrong with that! However, wine has so much more to offer: the aromas of sun-ripened fruits, the spiciness of oak barrels, or the minerality of volcanic soil.
We don’t want to come across as snobs, but we’d like to help you navigate the world of wine with confidence. Because wine reveals its true character only when we know what to look for in it.
New Event Series: Wine Academy
Let’s learn how to taste! That’s why we’re launching our newest multi-session event series, designed specifically for those who love wine but would like to delve deeper into the details. But don’t worry—you won’t be facing dry, boring lectures, but rather an exciting sensory journey where professionals demonstrate what they look for when tasting wine.
How can we help you?
Recognizing aromas: We’ll learn to “sniff out” berries, vanilla, or chocolate in wine.
Interpreting flavors: What is acidity, what are tannins, and why is balance important?
Pairings: Which wine goes well with fish, and why does roast beef love a full-bodied red from Eger?
Become a confident wine taster yourself!
Our goal is simple: to fully enjoy the experiences wine has to offer. Join us on this journey, and by the end of the series, you’ll be tasting various wines like a “pro.” Whether it’s a romantic evening or a business dinner, you’ll never again wonder which wine to choose from the menu.
First event: How to Taste Wine?
More events coming soon.
Recharge with us, enjoy the tranquility of our adult-friendly hotel, and become a true connoisseur of wine in the process!
