Experience Blind Wine Tasting with Chef Tom Scade at The Tasting Room at The Vineyard

This week on ON THE MENU, we visited The Tasting Room at The Vineyard, where we were greeted by Romain Bourger, Head Sommelier. The multisensory experience begins with a black glass at the table so that guests are unable to see their drinks. This means that the guests are left relying on smell and taste alone to identify what they are drinking.

Watch Executive Chef Tom Scade discuss the concept he introduced to celebrate The Vineyard's dual heritage—melding the rich Californian roots of the restaurant with the finest local produce from Berkshire.
