Do Not Unwrap
The bottles arrive wrapped in black tissue paper with a numbered seal — indicating tasting order and wine style. That's all you need to know. Resist the urge to peek.
Sommelier-Curated
Blind Wine Tasting Kit
The absolute best way to learn about wine is to taste it. Wrapped bottles. The infamous tasting grid. A sommelier's guide. All you have to do is pour — and make a call.
"Bring the experience of a blind wine tasting into your very own home with Argaux's blind tasting kit. Experience new wines and follow along with their how-to guide so you can get the full blind tasting experience." — Sarah Boyd, Forbes
Every Kit Includes
What's Inside
Sommelier-Selected Wines
Each bottle is hand-picked by the Argaux team, wrapped in black tissue paper to conceal its identity, and sealed with a numbered label indicating tasting order and wine style. Do not unwrap until you've made your call.
The Argaux Tasting Guide
How-to instructions, an overview of key varietals and regions, and the tips and tricks our sommeliers use in professional blind tastings. Your roadmap from first pour to final reveal.
The Infamous Tasting Grid
The same deductive tasting grid our sommeliers trained on. Structure your reasoning through sight, nose, and palate — then commit to a call on grape, region, vintage, and price.
The Experience
How It Works
Review Your Guide
Read through the Argaux tasting guide and watch the how-to video. Have a pen ready and arrange clean glassware for each wine before you open anything.
Taste
Pour and work through each wine using sight, nose, and palate. Sip and swish your first pour — seriously, like mouthwash. This helps you assess sweetness, acidity, tannin, alcohol, body, and finish.
Work the Grid
Use the infamous tasting grid to structure your deductive reasoning. Think through varietal, region, climate, and vintage. Reference the tips and tricks in your guide as you go.
Make a Call
Commit to your answer. What's the grape? Where's it from? What year? What would you pay for it? This is the moment the experience is built for.
Reveal
Text a photo of the label to your Pocket Somm for the answer. Unwrap, pour more, and ask yourself the only question that really matters: did you enjoy it?
The goal isn't to get it right. It's to pay attention — and fine-tune what you know you love.

Have Questions
Good to Know
What is included in the Blind Wine Tasting Kit?
Each kit includes sommelier-selected wines wrapped to conceal their identities, a detailed blind tasting guide, tasting grids, and everything you need to follow the Argaux blind tasting experience from first pour to final reveal.
Do I need to know anything about wine to enjoy the kit?
Not at all. The Blind Wine Tasting Kit was designed for everyone—from complete beginners to seasoned wine enthusiasts. The guide walks you through each step of the tasting process and helps you discover what you enjoy without needing prior wine knowledge.
How does blind tasting work?
Each bottle arrives wrapped so you can't see the label. Using the included tasting guide and grids, you'll evaluate each wine through sight, aroma, and taste before making your best guess about the grape, region, style, or price. Once you've finished, you unwrap the bottles and reveal the answers.
Why are the bottles wrapped?
Blind tasting removes preconceived ideas about wineries, regions, grape varieties, and price points. Without labels influencing your expectations, you can focus entirely on what's in the glass and develop a deeper understanding of your own preferences.
Can I do the tasting by myself?
Absolutely. The kit is designed to be enjoyed solo, with a partner, or as part of a larger group. Whether you're exploring wine on your own or hosting friends, the experience works at any scale.
How long does the tasting experience take?
Most tastings take between 60 and 90 minutes, depending on how much discussion, note-taking, and comparison you choose to do. There is no time limit—go at your own pace and enjoy the process.
Will I know what wines are included before I open the kit?
No. The wines remain a surprise until the final reveal. Each bottle is wrapped and sealed to preserve the blind tasting experience from start to finish.
Are the wines the same in every kit?
The wines may vary throughout the year as our sommeliers continue to curate exciting selections. Every kit is designed to provide a thoughtful educational experience while introducing you to a range of styles, regions, and producers.
Is this a good gift for wine lovers?
Yes. The Blind Wine Tasting Kit is one of our most popular gifts because it combines discovery, education, and entertainment into a memorable experience that wine lovers of all experience levels can enjoy.
Can we use the kits for a group event or team activity?
Absolutely. Blind tasting kits are popular for corporate events, virtual tastings, client appreciation experiences, team-building activities, and private gatherings. We can coordinate shipping to multiple addresses and create customized tasting experiences for groups.
What if I don't guess any of the wines correctly?
That's perfectly normal—and honestly, part of the fun. The goal isn't to get every answer right. The goal is to pay attention, discover new wines, and better understand what you enjoy drinking.
What will I learn from a blind tasting?
Blind tasting helps you identify aromas, flavors, structure, and style without being influenced by labels or reputation. Over time, it can help you better understand your personal preferences and become more confident when choosing wines.
