The search for the maximum sensory pleasure is taking Centre stage in the world of tourism and gastronomy. It seeks to give pleasure through food or drink, to reach a maximum sense of wellbeing. So when we talk about hedonistic tastings they are those that provide this pleasure when drinking, for example, wine.
Good ambience.
- For a hedonistic tasting, you should be surrounded by something good and enjoyable. Either the best atmosphere, friends, relatives, people that make us feel free while we taste good wine. Everything is linked. Living situations, relaxing, in a carefree atmosphere.
- On the contrary to professional tastings, at hedonistic ones you’re looking to have fun. You’re going to this tasting with the goal of having a good time.
Enjoy the sensory pathways.
- In this type of tasting, several things are important for the best experience, sight, smell, and taste. We need to condition this tasting to all of these sensory stimuli to learn to seek new flavours and aromas that will allow us later to distinguish one wine from another, and always with pure pleasure.
Wines to fascinate you.
- It is believed, according to wine experts that hedonistic tastings bring you joy and euphoria; they’re intended to fascinate and enthral pleasure at its best.
It can be practiced anywhere.
- This type of tasting, unlike most professional ones, can be done where ever you want to – at home, in a garden, or a bar. Invite friends and/or persons who understand the subject like an oenologist or sommelier, to guide the guests and help them develop new knowledge, as well as their palate.
