Five Senses Tastings
Five Senses Tastings offers full-sensory tasting events that encourage guests to become acutely mindful of their five senses through the careful pairing of live music, wine, cheese, and chocolate.
Partnering with world-class musicians, chefs, sommeliers, chocolatiers, and other flavor artists, we weave a diverse, global narrative guided by live music and enhanced by flavor, to create unforgettable experiences and memories that last a lifetime.
Founder Kala Maxym is a professionally trained opera singer and never understood the two reactions people would give her: utter awe or a scrunchy face followed by, "I'm sorry but I hate opera." Taking a page from the book on wine tasting, she applied the concept to music. Her events span about 500 years of music – from the Baroque to today – and the selections are carefully paired with wine (or cocktails), food, and sweet treats to tempt all five senses.
