  Ask your venue what options you have.
  
  My venue does tasting events twice a year for their couples, in the fall and spring (the next one is in a couple of wks). At the tasting we went to in Nov, they had a bunch of stations as well as people passing apps. The food was more of a 'fall' menu, and this upcoming tasting will be their 'spring' menu. They probably had half of their food options at the last tasting, and we were stuffed.

  I agree. Ask your vendor how it is usually done.
  
  When we did our tasting, our caterer made FI and I a "dinner for two" with the options we were considering. I think it ended up being three entrees, two sides and two vegetables. Each. We were stuffed afterwards, but it was soooo good

  Usually the rule of thumb is to taste three entrees at the most and 2-3 appetizers, if you are still torn between other offerings schedule a second tasting. If you try to taste everything you are interested in at one tasting you tend to get overwhelmed.

  We did a 3 course meal. We mentioned the entrees we were interested in trying. They also let us try a variety of passed hors d'oeuvres and salads so we could make a decision about those. We decided to do a soup course as well - they didn't make soup, but we talked about it with them and trusted it would be good. And it was.
  
  Just go slow. We totally ate all of everything at first (4-6 pieces of each app and a decent plate of salad) and we were stuffed by the end.
