Wine, Dance, Music & Visual Arts – Don’t Miss Winery Psalms!
On Wednesday night I popped into Pinelli Wines & Fillaudeau’s to catch a glimpse of ‘Winery Psalms’ – a production by Remnant Dance company that takes you on a journey of wine tasting matched with the arts. I got a taste at the final dress run in preparation for the opening night tonight (Friday 15th).
I’ve never experienced a wine tasting quite like this! It was a full sensory experience of experiencing art and wine through sight, sound, touch and taste. Here is a small sip of what you’ll experience at Winery Psalms:
On arrival you’re given a program about each of the performances. I just love how each of the pieces are described in the style of a tasting note! Here’s an example of the description of the first performance which is matched with the Pinelli sparkling wine (which by the way is tasting excellent right now!):
I suddenly feel inspired to get a bit more creative with my tasting notes!
