Stunning Venue, Sumptuous Feast, Superb Wines and Great Music

Collaroy Tennis Club is celebrating the mid-point of another year with a big party at a stunning venue, featuring a sumptuous winter feast, superb wines and great music provided by sparkling DJs.

But this event also has a twist to it. As part of a special Tasting of award-winning Kilikanoon Wines (Clare Valley), we’re conducting an experiment to try and prove a current theory that music actually influences the way wine tastes. Experiments around the world suggest that our appreciation of wine can be enhanced by stimulating other senses, specifically listening to certain music while sipping.

Can music change the flavour of wine?

"The more we explore it, the more mysterious wine seems. It appears to provide a mirror to our feelings. We associate different wine types with different moods, just as we do with music. When the wine and the music match, both improve.”
- Clark Smith, 'Maverick Vintner'

Our sparkling DJs, Belen and Delfina of dmb
