Group tastings
Run the tasting in one place, from setup to results.
Group tastings only work well if the public guide reflects the real event flow. That means setup, invites, lineup mechanics, tasting forms, and results all need to be explained through the actual product rather than an invented host mock.
Event type
Blind lineup · names hidden
Build the lineup in advance, keep both the list and the pours blind, and reveal when you choose.
This is the most concealed version: the event is structured in advance, but tasters do not see the wine list before tasting and work from true blind samples in the glass.
Event setup
Start with the event basics: name, description, start time, and location. The description is where you tell people what this tasting is and how it will run.
Then choose planned lineup, pick one tasting form for the whole group, and build the lineup sample by sample. Each row carries the wine title, vintage, blind status, and any organizer note you want to attach.
Invites can go to existing members or plain email addresses. People do not need to be members when the invite is sent, but they do need an account and the right membership before they can work through the tasting notes.

During the tasting
During the tasting, participants see the event they were invited into, taste through the shared lineup, and submit notes inside that structure.
Blind samples stay blind either until you reveal them or until you close the event, at which point all of them are revealed and the full results are collated. If you keep names hidden pre-reveal, tasters can still save proper blind guesses rather than just choosing from a visible list.

Results
When the event closes, you get the guessing round and the wine-level recap together. That means the notes, guesses, descriptors, and structure all stay attached to the same tasting event.
This is why the digital setup matters. Results collation becomes straightforward, especially when everyone has been working from the same form and the same lineup all evening.

That is the real point of the group tasting flow. Setup should be clear, invites should be simple, the tasting itself should stay organised, and the results should still be usable after the bottles are gone.
