Virtual Wine Experiences- a taste of France at home
Chateau Feely is excited to announce a new range of virtual wine tasting parties, live tasting and pairing classes, and online courses. Visit a unique French organic and biodynamic vineyard, learn about French wine, and have fun, from anywhere. Four categories of virtual experiences are available:
The Virtual Discovery Wine Course
An 8-module video and document-based course through 12 wines and including live events, that takes you on a voyage of wine exploration deep into terroir, vineyards, and winemaking. One of the participants in the USA is using the 6 tasting modules for 6 ‘lockdown’ date nights.

Private virtual wine tasting parties / celebrations
Zoom connected celebrations for groups of friends / family including a pairing dinner party extravaganza. A client in the UK is celebrating a 50th birthday, a client in France an important anniversary, a group of friends in Ireland a virtual dinner date. Team Feely have created suggested formats, but these can be customised to suit the winelover’s dream party.
Virtual live events – the ‘AromaBrain’ and ‘Wine and Food Pairing Technology’
Group events via zoom. The live events in May are sold out; June events are available.
Virtual corporate and teambuilding wine tasting events
For remote teams looking for a way to connect, our tasting events are guaranteed fun and new knowledge. We offer a tea-tasting for participants who prefer not to drink wine.
