Right now, a "Tasting Party" is on of the most popular adult party ideas.
Just like the name suggests, at a "tasting", you "taste" different things from a food or beverage category.
Types of Tasting Parties
Probably the most popular example is to do a wine tasting. This is also probably the most well know type of tasting. The possibilities of a wine tasting are endless as well. You can taste by category, region, price point, etc. or you can do blind tastings or just taste everyone's favorites. Just about any idea will do and there are many possibilities.
And even though wine tastings are popular and fun, it can also be fun to go beyond wine tasting games and try tasting other beverages or foods.
Think about something you would enjoy tasting and sampling...
What about a chocolate tasting? If you have one of those, be sure to invite me!
Here are links to some ideas for holding a tasting of your own! Check them out, and decide what your next favorite tasting opportunity to share with your friends at a party will be!
Adding a Tasting to your party
A fun idea for food would be to do a tasting of foods from a specific country or region of the world. Create an Around the World Party Theme and cater your choices to the regions that you are highlighting.
Include a beer tasting as part of your backyard barbeque.
You can incorporate tastings into other parties as well:
- St. Patrick's Day Party - Beer Tasting
- Mardi Gras Party - Beer Tasting
- Oscar Party - Champagne Tasting
- Cinco de Mayo Party - Tequila Tasting
- Oktoberfest Party - Beer Tasting
- Casino Party - Vodka Tasting
- And more - just pick an adult party idea or holiday party theme, then add whichever tasting makes the most sense for your theme.
Popularity of Tasting Parties
I think tasting parties are popular because...
- A tasting party can be inexpensive – if you are strapped for cash, you can instruct your guests to bring their favorite wine (beer, desserts, etc. – whatever you are tasting that night)
- These parties work equally well for large or small groups of friends
- They give people something to do – everyone has something to talk about and the night is full of fun, because the tasting is the activity. This can take some of the stress off the host or hostess, because they know everyone will have a great time!
