ABOUT
THE WINE EXPERIENCE is an unforgettable blindfolded tasting journey to expand an audience's sensory perception of some of the world's most exceptional wines. Conceptually designed as a performance fundraiser for Ghost River Theatre by Artistic Director Eric Rose, this is a wine encounter unlike any other you have ever experienced.
Audience members are blindfolded and led into the venue where they experience an intimate wine tasting that mingles live performance, immersive sound design, and a specially designed tactile tasting mat that engages the audience’s sense of touch.
THE WINE EXPERIENCE features playwright Marina Buston, award-winning musician and performer Kenna Burima, and expert sommelier Brad Royale from Calgary’s own, Major Tom (voted best Restaurant in Canada 2022!) who will be providing a customized assortment of delectable wine with the tantalizing journey inside the glass. The special evening will conclude with an exquisite dinner from the chefs at The Ranchmen’s Club.
