About the game

What you do in a play session

Imagine taking a gastronomic tour through California's wine regions, but with a competitive twist. In Wine Cellar, you're not just sightseeing; you're on a mission to build the cellar of your dreams. The game blends race-style movement with a strong educational component, turning your table into a veritable sommelier classroom. As you traverse the map, you'll be challenged with questions about the art of tasting, wine etiquette, and the history behind each bottle.

The experience is designed for adults who want to learn (or test their knowledge) while having fun. The main goal is to fill your Cellar Card with fifteen different types of wine. To achieve this, you'll need strategy and, of course, a solid grasp of wine knowledge. An interesting detail is that the game encourages actual tasting: the host can provide wine samples so players can practice identification and sensory analysis during the match.

In addition to the board and cards, the game includes a detailed 24-page guide developed by experts, serving as the theoretical foundation for those starting from scratch. It's the perfect kind of game for social nights where conversation flows, wine is poured, and competition is seasoned with trivia. You'll learn to speak the 'language of wine,' discover what to look for in a quality label, and compete to see who is the most sophisticated person at the table. Whether you're a curious beginner or someone who already knows their vintages, the game proposes a collection and memory challenge that makes the journey both educational and engaging.
