Origin

Sense Shift is a distinctive sensory tasting series, more than a cocktail tasting, that approaches the world of drinks from a fresh perspective. Every detail of our events is built on personal experience, years of professional craft and lived impressions, everything that can be perceived through a drink.

Questions

What people ask most

What is a liquid tasting?

A sensory tasting where the focus is not only on the drink, but also on what you notice while tasting it: aroma, texture, temperature. It is liquid because there is no food pairing: everything we pour is liquid, from coffee to wine, beer, spirits and alcohol-free drinks.

How is it different from a wine or cocktail tasting?

A wine tasting is about one family of drinks, and a cocktail tasting usually centres on recipes and flavour. Here the question is not what you drink, but what you notice while you drink it.

Is every tasting the same?

No. Each tasting is built around one theme, and every one is different. Our current theme is Formáló erők (Shaping Forces).

Do I need to know anything about drinks?

None at all. There is no test and no wrong answer. The evening is about what you notice, and that cannot be got wrong. People who never drink cocktails enjoy it just as much.

Can I come on my own?

Of course, many people do. Eight of us sit at one table, and half the evening is comparing what each person noticed. Arriving alone is an advantage here.

How long is it, and how many people?

One hour, eight people at one table. That number is deliberate: with more, there is no longer room for everyone to speak.

Is there food?

No, the tasting is made up of liquid items only, although there will be snacks on the tables. Eat something beforehand. Depending on the venue, many guests stay on afterwards for dinner.

What if I do not drink alcohol?

Tell us in advance and we will prepare an alcohol-free version. The evening is about aroma, texture and temperature, and those work just as well without alcohol.

Is there an age limit?

Yes, 18. We serve alcohol as part of the tasting, so we cannot host anyone under 18, not even with an adult.

I have a food allergy, is that a problem?

Not at all, just tell us when you book or reply to any of our emails. We prepare for eight people, so adapting is easy.

What should I wear and bring?

We ask you to dress smartly, in keeping with the evening. Bring nothing, every tool and ingredient will be there. One request: skip strong perfume, because it affects everyone else's nose too.

Can I give it as a gift?

Yes, write to info@senseshift.hu and we will sort it out. We also run corporate and private tastings, and are happy to talk about those.
