The wine and cocktail making workshop brings a completely different energy than the calmness of ceramics or the intimacy of perfume.
Here, everything is about companionship, good cheer, and discovering flavors.
This is a program where you not only create, but also taste, laugh, tell stories, and maybe even feel like dancing.
The setting – an elegant atmosphere
Imagine: you are welcomed in an elegant Budapest bar or wine cellar, with crystal glasses lined up on the tables, alongside fresh fruit, colorful spices, various syrups, and of course the most important ingredients: quality wines, spirits, and liqueurs.
The atmosphere of the place immediately captivates you, because you’re not sitting at a school desk, but in an environment where everything is about enjoying what you do.
Wine workshop – reading the glass
If you go to a wine workshop, you will first be taught how to „read” wine.
You will not only taste it, but also observe its color, aroma, and texture.
The glass hides the story of the grape, the vineyard, and the vintage.
The instructor—usually a winemaker or sommelier—talks with such passion that by the end, you’ll definitely see every bottle with new eyes.
And of course, there’s plenty of experimentation:
- Mix your own wine cocktail
- Learn which cheese, chocolate, or fruit goes best with your chosen drink
Cocktail workshop – playful experiments
The cocktail-making workshop is a game in itself.
Shakers, buckets full of ice, citrus fruits, mint leaves, colorful syrups, and spices are lined up in front of you.
The bartender shows you the classic techniques: how to shake, mix, and garnish properly.
First, you try the basic cocktails—mojito, margarita, cosmopolitan—then comes the creative part: you can put together your own drink.
The moment when you shake the shaker for the first time, hear the ice clinking, and the others clap and laugh, is both entertaining and liberating.
Everyone can join in
The best part is that you don’t have to be a pro.
Everyone experiments: some make it too sweet, others too strong, but that’s okay.
No one judges here—instead you all rejoice when someone comes up with a really great combination.
And of course, at the end of each drink, there’s the tasting—you can immediately tell if you’ve gotten the proportions right, and in the process, you get more and more into the creative flow.
A true social experience
This workshop is a real social experience.
It quickly brings friends, colleagues, or even strangers together, as the drinks and shared experimentation put everyone in a good mood.
At the end, everyone is smiling, the glasses are half full, and the stories are getting more and more colorful.
You don’t take home an object, but knowledge that you can use anytime: the next time you have guests at home, you will be the highlight of the evening, conjuring up your own signature cocktail.
More than just techniques
So, the wine and cocktail making workshop isn’t just about learning a technique.
It’s a social experience that’s both elegant and playful, and is guaranteed to make for a memorable evening.
And let’s face it, there’s something particularly satisfying about having your handiwork not only admired, but also drunk.
