What Our Clients Are Saying About Our Experiences

Colleen, RAB Lighting

I cannot express how lovely it is to have a vendor work so seamlessly with our team and provide our customers the same level of professionalism that we set for ourselves. If we were to ever return for an event, I would definitely love the opportunity to work with your team again.

Jacquie, NCM Media

All of the feedback has been great. The group had a lot of fun (and really enjoyed the wine) and our executives thought it was the perfect way to kick off the night by allowing them to mix and mingle with their guests while doing a fun activity.

Amanda, LIMRA

I was a little worried when I booked the wine event because we hadn't done anything like this before and I wasn't sure how it would turn out. In the end, the event exceeded all of my expectations and all of my attendees were thrilled with the experience.

Tina, GetWireless

I spoke to Karen, a guest who attended and she said 'It was the best 2 hours I’ve spent at a corporate event…ever! I laughed my mascara off!'

Team Building

Want to encourage groups to work together and learn about each other, and have a great time as they interact? Our Bordeaux Blender is a great example of how we set up memorable team building experiences.

Guests are split into three teams – (1) Tanks, Barrels, and Carafes; (2) Skins, Pips and Stems; (3) Tannin, Acid and Esters; or something that ties to your company or goals. The fun begins with all teams together.

Guests enjoy sparkling wine or sparkling juice as they learn about Bordeaux, France, the first commercial wine area that exported to the world. A wine professor will explain why both viticulture (the growing of the grapes) and viniculture (the making of the wine) in the Bordeaux area involved using blends of varietals. She will highlight the key varietals in Bordeaux blends (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Carménère) and present what each grape adds to the blend.

The groups will be sent to their stations where they have three jobs to complete before the timer goes off:

create a tasty blend of wine from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc (the three most commonly used varietals of the six allowed Bordeaux grapes)
design and draw a wine bottle label for their team's signature blend
produce and film a 1-minute advertisement (video or live) for the wine

The timer goes off. Groups gather together. Each team presents their wine blend, bottle label, and promotional video or skit. The guests enjoy the presentations while tasting a fine Bordeaux wine made from the same key varietals they used. The Wine Professor will decide the winning team. Other prizes can be awarded for best presentation, most room for improvement, etc., and anything else tied to the group's mission.

High Praise for our Team Building Events!

“I think it went well. The competition was fun and everyone got into it. I can’t think of anything to add or take away.”

Utah History Presentations

Fox School of Wine’s faculty is comprised of many entertaining, knowledgeable presenters who don’t require your guests to be drinking wine to make them laugh, (although we admit, it never hurts.)

Consider bringing in a professor who calls himself a “stand-up historian”, who worked in the Governor’s Office of Economic Development for years while using his vacations to guide on the many rivers of the West. Or our headmistress who studied public speaking at Vanderbilt University and who has family lines going back in Utah to the arrival of the Mormons and others going back to the discovery of ore in Utah.

We realize your guests want entertainment, not just a list of dates and facts.

Some of our presentation themes:

Utah’s Mountains, Mormons, and Medals

An overview from pre-historic events to the arrival of the Mormons to the Olympics in Utah.

Park City: Silver to Snow

The story of the town’s morphing from silver mining to mountain resort.

Utah’s Most Famous Outlaws

Butch Cassidy, Porter “The Avenging Angel” Rockwell, Matt “The Mormon Kid” Warner and others

Thirty-Two Years

Failures and successes of 2002 and the plans for Salt Lake’s 2034 Olympic Games
