- Envision the scenic backdrop of Sogndal as you step into a locally reputed wine bar. The exposed wooden beams, chic decor and the low lighting set the perfect ambience for a romantic date.

- Next, you are guided through the pairing of wines with a selection of locally-produced cheese, chocolates and hors d'oeuvres that complement the flavours of the wine. The process is not just indulgent, but also informative as you learn about the local wine-making process, the cuisine, and how to pair them.
- Your date ends with a toast to your relationship with your favorite wine, promising to come back to relive the elegant simplicity of the moment.
Preparation steps:
- Before you head out for your date, make sure to reserve your wine tasting experience in advance as these venues can book out, especially during peak tourism season. Dress comfortably, but a bit on the smart-casual side, seeing as you will be visiting an upscale venue.
- You might want to determine your preference in wine (red, white, sparkling, etc.) and food in advance, to help the sommelier tailor the best experience for you. Don't hesitate to explore and try something new, though โ this is what the experience is all about.
- Ensure to arrange for transportation back home to avoid driving after wine tasting. Uber, Taxi, or local bus services are good options.
Some tips:
- Don't worry if you're not a wine expert. The focus of this date is to enjoy the good company and have fun. The connoisseurs are there to guide you through the experience, and there are no wrong questions.
- For the best experience, don't rush through the tasting. Take time to take in the aroma, the color, the flavors of each glass.
- If you're particularly fond of a certain wine, feel free to purchase a bottle to take home. It'll make a nice momento of your date.
