Experience Details

Your Tasting in the Dark Experience will begin at the Hardys Tintara Cellar Door. You will meet your host at the Cellar Door where you will be guided to our Fortified Barrel Hall. This room is on the bottom level of the original winery, and maintains a constant temperature of 18 degrees Celsius, so make sure to bring a jacket in the colder months. Your host will then guide you through the wine tasting process and describe what role each of the senses play during the process. With the lights turned down, blindfolds on, and sipping from black wine glasses, you will discover what happens when you remove the sense of sight, and understand how it influences your wine tasting experience. This tasting is about enhancing your wine knowledge and gaining a deeper understanding of your palate.

What You’ll Experience

Have you ever wondered how the senses work together to influence your wine tasting experience? Join us in our exclusive Fortified Cellar to find out with a bespoke, fun and interactive wine tasting that will engage and challenge your senses. The five senses all play a role in how we experience and taste wine. Your host will guide you through the wine tasting process and describe what role each of the senses play during the process. To challenge your senses and your wine tasting experience, you will be TASTING IN THE DARK… Journey deep into the darkness of our Fortified Cellar, we will turn down the lights, put on the blindfolds and pour wine into black wine glasses to discover what happens when you remove the sense of sight, and understand how it influences your wine tasting experience. Tasting in the Dark is suitable for all levels, no prior knowledge required. This tasting is about enhancing your wine knowledge and gaining a deeper understanding of your palate - how you taste wine - to elevate the wine experience.
