A sensory journey blending organic wine, Vietnamese culture, and self-discovery
This intimate, 2-hour experience brings West and East to the same table: a curated organic wine (West) intentionally paired with Central Vietnam bites (East), so you can feel how balance, contrast, and harmony show up in flavour — and in life. Hosted by Vy, a Top 4 Best Sommelier of Vietnam in French Wines (2016) with 10+ years of experience and a culture researcher, it’s designed for curious travellers who love deep dives into food, ideas, and meaning.You’ll taste the wine on its own, then with local dishes that shift its structure — body, acidity, tannin, aroma — revealing how context changes perception. From there, Vy “translates” what you’re tasting into an Eastern framework: Yin & Yang and the Five Elements. It’s not a lecture. It’s a guided sensory journey where every pairing becomes a mini case study in opposites and harmony: richness meets freshness, sharpness meets softness, intensity meets calm.The session ends with a gentle self-discovery moment: a short exercise to decode your personal Yin–Yang energy based on your birth year, then match it to a “wine personality” — not to predict fate, but to spark reflection and conversation in a warm, welcoming space. Think of it as culture you can taste, and philosophy you can bring home.What to ExpectGuided tasting of a thoughtfully selected organic wine, paired with Vietnamese bites that showcase contrasts and harmonyLearn wine tasting etiquette and the basics of wine structureAn introduction to Yin & Yang and the Five Elements, with insights into Vietnamese history and cultureSelf-discovery exercise to decode your personal Yin & Yang energy based on your birth yearAn engaging cultural exchange with hosts who blend wine expertise with deep local knowledgeGood to KnowExperience lasts approximately 2 hours, with a private setting for personalised attentionThe venue offers a warm, relaxed atmosphere designed for conversation and reflectionParticipants should be open to new experiences and cultural ideas — no previous knowledge neededAll wines served are organic and sustainably farmed; food is thoughtfully curated to enhance tasting and learning
