Blindfold Wine Tasting. Live Bach Cello. A Geneva Art Gallery.
Close your eyes. The first notes of Bach's Cello Suites fill a cosy gallery in the heart of Geneva. A glass appears in your hand. You do not know what you are drinking — not the grape, not the region, not the label. All you have is what you taste, what you feel, and the music that guides you through the vineyards of Swiss neighbours.
This is not a masterclass. This is a journey.
You will arrive at Galerie Fahid Taghavi, a contemporary art gallery on Rue de la Madeleine, steps from Geneva's cathedral. The space is intimate. The lights are low.
A professional cellist begins to play selections from Bach's solo cello suites — music written three centuries ago for exactly this kind of listening: close, personal, unmediated.
As the music unfolds, your wine expert guides you through a blindfold tasting of four carefully selected wines. No labels. No regions revealed. Each wine is poured in a 50ml tasting glass, and you are asked one question: What do you notice?
This is wine tasting stripped of pretension. No scores, no jargon, no right answers. Just your palate, your curiosity, and the music of Johann Sebastian Bach.
The tasting is only half the journey. After each glass, your host lifts the blindfold

The tasting is only half the journey. After each glass, your host lifts the blindfold and tells the story behind it — the canton, the producer, the landscape it came from. Four wines. Four stories. The evening concludes with a full 125ml glass to linger over your favourite.
