About this Event
Ever paired fine wine with fine art?
SO/ Auckland is hosting a one-off wine tasting like no other at 6.30pm on Thursday 30th of May: Fluidity:The Art and Wine Pairing Evening.
Forget pairing with food (although there will be plenty of nibbles). It’s art that will be masterfully paired with our wine, this time.
Held at downtown Auckland’s SO/ Gallery, this unique event is a collaboration with Alpha Domus wines and artist Rachel Rush, supported by Flagstaff Gallery.
Guests will taste five exquisite Alpha Domus wines over the course of the evening—many of which are reserve, unique and lesser-known wines.
Alpha Domus’ winemaker Barry Riwai will join us from Hawke’s Bay, taking us through the inspiration behind the pairings. Not to mention, share some snippets and secrets of the boutique winemaking process.
With each degustation of the five wines, guests will simultaneously discover a grandiose piece of art by Rachel Rush in her new 'Fluidity' collection—which uniquely pairs with the glass before them. Just like the wine, many of these evocative pieces will be lesser-known, special creations unveiled for the occasion.
Mesmerising pools of glittering lacquer, blending with effervescent bubbles? Acrylic layers with lingering mouthfeels? Piquant tannins with colours that pack a punch?
All senses will be artfully engaged in this unique tasting.
