Domaine Carneros invites wine lovers to experience its newest visitor offering, Scent & Savor: A Wine Tour of Aromas and Taste Transformations, now available by appointment daily.  One of several distinctive food and wine pairing experiences offered to visitors at the property, Scent & Savor is a 90-minute guided journey from vineyard to glass. The experience brings guests on a journey from the estate’s panoramic vineyard views through the sparkling wine cellar, providing a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse into the artistry of méthode traditionnelle production while enjoying tastings of Estate Brut and Brut Rosé. Guests then are escorted into the elegant Salon des Rêves, where the hands-on sensory adventure begins featuring two of Domaine Carneros’ most acclaimed wines at the center: Le Rêve Blanc de Blancs and The Famous Gate Pinot Noir.

The heart of the experience lies in a guided exploration of the foundational aromas – primary, secondary and tertiary, and the five foundational flavor components — salt, fat, acid, spice, and sweet, through thoughtfully paired aromatic cues and bites designed to reveal the transformative magic of wine and food synergy.  It’s a great opportunity to tune in to one’s palate and to explore the realm of contrasts and synergies in food/wine pairing.
