Tech Taste events are wine tastings and tech talks for entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals directly involved in the global startup ecosystem.

Tech Taste organisers choose wineries and importers of fine wines that have an interesting story to tell, so participants learn about wine production methods and wine history as much as varietals. We see wine in a broader context: it is culture, history, geography.  We go beyond organoleptic appreciation.  We learn about wines and meet influential professionals, investors, and founders from the food, fashion, and wine industries.
