Wine courses and tastings in Brussels
Mystery Tasting started as an online tasting initiative during the Covid pandemic, setting new standards for interactive online group tastings. However, as wine educators, we still believe a physical tasting or wine course is the best and most fun way to learn about wine.
We just concluded the 2023-2024 season, and your enthusiasm was overwhelming once more. On to 2024-2025 - the dates and topics are out!
We offer a mix of topical wine courses in which we explore regions, wine styles and grape varieties in more detail, always with a focus on the (mystery) tasting. All sessions are held in English. If you are interested in other topics or perhaps a tailored session/course for a small group (also possible in Dutch or French), please contact us.

Sessions usually take place on Friday evenings at 20h in Laeken (Brussels), easily reachable by public transport and close to the R0 and A12. Places are limited to 14 persons per evening... first come, first served! The cost per session is usually 65 euro, except for the food pairing session (95 euro) and the blending session (80 euro).
If you subscribe for the full series, we apply a discount of 5% (595 instead of 630 euro)
TERMS AND CONDITIONS: the enrolment form is not a guarantee of reservation. Only when the amount due is paid is your spot secured. Like last year, we will apply a non-refund policy. Think of it as a concert ticket - of course, if you have booked and paid a session and can't make it yourself, we'll be happy to welcome your friend(s). Plenty of people out there who love fine wine, so that should not be too difficult.
