They organized and planned the wine testing Festival, hotels, lodges, restaurant and the community were invited to learn about wines and given the opportunity to tastes different wines .Every event is unique, stemming from the blend of management, program, setting and people.

At the event people where taught about the history of the wine and that the most produced wine comes from Europe. Wine is the alcoholic beverage obtained from the fermentation of the juice of freshly gathered grapes (Walker and Walker. 2014). Wine is produced in small areas of the world where there is sufficient sun to ripen the grape and winters that are moderate yet sufficiently cool to give the vine a chance to rest and restore its strength for the growing and fruiting season to provide juice of the quality necessary for conversion into a drinkable wine ( Lillicrap and Cousins.2010).The wines were arranged to their classification(red, white and rose).After the lecturing the guest were given chance to go around the stalls to tastes the wine and be able to differentiate it with others. They also learned how to serve wines with the right meals.
