Inspired by avante garde wineries in Northern Italy, this sensory-deprivation tasting experience is designed to strip away the labels, the jargon, and the visual cues that often clutter our perception. By quieting our sight and introducing the vibrational layers of a live violinist, we allow the wine to speak through flavor, texture, aroma, and emotional resonance. The tasting moves from champagne-method bubbles of Trento DOC, to the silken texture of Roero Arneis, culminating in the kings of Italian reds: Amarone, Barolo, and Brunello.
Join us for an intimate journey through five boutique-producer Italian labels paired with musical accompaniment by Oregon Ballet Theater classical violinist Jamie Chimchirian. Organized in partnership with Curiosity Roads, this gathering translates the ethos of intentional travel into a local ritual, inviting you to engage with wine—and each other—with a fresh sense of presence.
