ELEVATED TASTING TOUR

In simple terms, a wine enthusiast, or oenophile (pronounced “ee-nuh-file”), is an individual with a profound love for wine. Such individuals identify themselves as passionate about fine bottles of wine, lacking formal training but possessing a discerning palate. Distinguishing between a poorly crafted wine and a superior one is likely second nature to an oenophile. They engage in conversations about quality wine with friends, participate in wine tasting events, and are adept at pairing wine with food. A person who ardently embraces the world of wine, absorbs knowledge about it, and becomes your reliable source for wine recommendations can be classified as an oenophile.

Does this resonate with you? If so, congratulations, you fall into the category of oenophiles! This is an achievement worth commemorating—join us on an Elevated Charlottesville Wine Tasting Tour. While there isn't an official certification for becoming an oenophile, if you possess a deeper understanding of wine compared to the average person, chances are you've already reached this status. We look forward to helping you proudly use this sophisticated term to define your love for wine!
