During the event, participants learned to appreciate the color, aroma, taste, and structure of the wines. The sommelier passionately explained the different characteristics of the selected wines, which came from different regions, and also illustrated their history and production techniques. The finger food served with the wines emphasized the aromas and enriched the participants' experience. Thanks to the instructions, participants attempted to guess the origin and characteristics of the wines presented during a blind tasting.
This was the first joint event organized by ETHZ and EPFL Alumni in Ticino, providing an opportunity to get to know each other and exchange ideas. The event was made possible through the collaboration of the presidents of both associations, Anna Juda (EPFL Alumni) and Rudi Belotti (ETHZ Alumni). Participants discussed their study experiences, recalled entertaining anecdotes and memorable moments from their academic careers. They also exchanged professional experiences and discussed current topics.
The evening ended with a celebration of the successful meeting and hopes for future collaborations. The friendly and relaxed atmosphere made the event extremely enjoyable.
