Take a journey through the senses with Dr Jo Burzynska and discover how different sounds and environments can change the taste of wine.

Grounded in cutting-edge crossmodal research – the science of how our senses influence each other – this is wine tasting as you've never experienced it. Begin in the minimalist canvas of Vault 21’s White Room, travel through the vibrant neon wonderland of Déjà Vu Eats, and descend into the opulent underground atmosphere of Catacombs nightclub.

Each location features specially curated wines paired with specific immersive music and perception shifting soundscapes.

Dr Jo Burzynska is New Zealand-based wine writer, sound artist/composer and researcher. Her work in these areas has increasingly converged in projects that combine sound and flavour. This includes a PhD investigating the influence of sound on the perception of wine, creating multisensory art and immersive experiences, such the establishment of the world's first wine and sound bar, and as the author of the Oenosthesia – Blending Wine and Music Substack.

This event takes place over 90 minutes in three venues with six wines to taste. Due to venue restrictions, ability to use stairs is required to take part in this event.

Science never tasted so exciting!
