Van wisselende locaties naar een eigen plek<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toen ik begon met het organiseren van wijnproeverijen in Valencia, werkte ik samen met verschillende bars, restaurants, dakterrassen en evenementenlocaties. Het was een geweldige manier om te beginnen. Ik kon een evenement organiseren zonder direct de kosten te hebben van een eigen pand. Tegelijkertijd ervoeren gasten verschillende plekken in de stad. Er was echter \u00e9\u00e9n nadeel: ik was altijd alles aan het verslepen. Glazen, wijnen, snacks en proefmaterialen moesten allemaal in dozen en tassen passen. Daarom moest ik de boel altijd relatief klein en praktisch houden.
Het hebben van een eigen proeflokaal veranderde dat. Voor mij, The Tastingroom<\/a> is niet simpelweg een plek waar ik evenementen organiseer. Het is een plek waarin ik kan investeren en die ik helemaal eigen kan maken. Ik kan nadenken over de kleine details, van het glaswerk en de spuugbakken tot de decoraties, en dat is wat de gasten zich op hun gemak laat voelen. Het belangrijkste is dat alles kan worden ontworpen rondom de wijnproeverij-ervaring in Valencia die ik wil cre\u00ebren. Ik kan ook investeren in de wijnen zelf. In plaats van een kleine voorraad aan te houden omdat alles moet worden verplaatst, kan ik nu wijnen kopen die ik echt lekker vind en deze goed bewaren. In de toekomst zou ik heel graag een klimaatgeregelde wijnkelder willen hebben, in The Tastingroom, waar ik flessen een paar jaar kan laten ouderen voordat ik ze open tijdens een proeverij. Dat is iets wat ik nooit echt kon doen toen ik voortdurend van de ene locatie naar de andere verhuisde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Een plek die aan voelt als Tristan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I think about the atmosphere, I want The Tastingroom to feel clean, comfortable and welcoming. I am not a decorator, so I have definitely asked people around me for advice. At the same time, I enjoy seeing how the space continues to evolve. I don’t want it to feel too busy, but I do want it to breathe wine. The colours, the style and the details should all feel connected to me and to what I do. When people walk in, I want them to think: Tristan, wine and a place where I come to relax and enjoy.
Het allerbelangrijkste is dat gasten meer onthouden dan alleen de wijnen. Natuurlijk wil ik dat ze weggaan met wat nieuwe kennis en de geproefde wijnen herinneren. Maar ik wil ook dat ze de mensen herinneren die ze hebben ontmoet, de gesprekken die ze hebben gevoerd en de sfeer van de avond. Mijn proeverijen zijn sociale evenementen, vaak met mensen die ik nog nooit eerder heb ontmoet. Dat is precies wat de wijnproefervaring in Valencia zo speciaal voor mij maakt.
Bij de proeverij zelf draait het er ook om te leren hoe je wijn moet begrijpen, in plaats van simpelweg te horen te krijgen welke druif of streek er in het glas zit. Waarom smaakt deze wijn anders dan een andere? Is het de klimaat<\/a>, het druivenras of de wijnmakerij? Zodra je die verbanden begrijpt, kun je met meer zelfvertrouwen wijn proeven.
Ultimately, that is what I want The Tastingroom to become: a place people remember and return to. Somewhere you can walk past in Valencia and think, \u201cLet’s go say hi to Tristan.\u201d Maybe you want to join another tasting, buy a bottle or simply have a chat about wine. For me, that is the wine tasting experience in Valencia I have always wanted to create.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
