Unlock the mysteries of how your brain shapes every sip of wine in this captivating two-hour course. Brain and Wine blends neuroscience and sensory exploration to reveal how our senses, memories, and emotions interact with the flavors and textures in our glass. Through interactive tasting exercises and expert insights, we’ll dive into the brain’s pathways that influence our perception of wine—discovering why color, smell, and texture matter, how memories are evoked with each sip, and why certain wines bring us joy.

Perfect for wine lovers and curious minds, this course is an experience in understanding the deeper connections between brain and palate, making every glass a journey through the senses. Join us for a fascinating fusion of science and savoring!
