Wine & Senses

Wine tourism, tourism that involves senses

If taste, smell and sight are essential to taste wine and to perceive its essence, touch and hearing are equally important to get a complete sensory experience: the sound of a popping cork, the fizz of a sparkling wine, or the sound of the wind in the vineyards, the touch of a fine wine glass, or a bunch of ripe grapes.

The project
