SENSORY SIP 

A mindful guided wine tasting that changes how you experience wine in Los Angeles.

A wine tasting journey: 90 minutes, three curated wines

I use storytelling and visualization to guide you through an immersive experience.

I invite you to become the root, the sun, the rain, all the elements that give the wine its character –so you understand what you're tasting and fully open your senses.

We travel through different scenery, and emotional landscape, built with sound, scent, and music. Not just to taste better — but to be more connected with the people around you.

What happens between those moments, I'll leave for the evening.

What Do People Say?

I absolutely loved the meditative wine experience. Moving through the meditations was so evocative, and really grounded my mind and opened my senses to link memories and emotions to the tastes of the wine in deep and exciting ways (especially with the added layer of music). ... I felt like I could leave behind the things weighing me down and emerge holding a sense of joy and lightness, and that has stayed with me in the days since. I can’t wait to join another one!

Eight strangers sat down to talk about the weather—an hour later, we’d shared stories from around the world, tasted something truly full-bodied, and made real connections. I wish everyone could experience wine like this: not stiff or traditional, but playful, freeing, and deeply human. It’s like recess—for grown-ups.
