The Art of Wine with Women In Architecture

Raise a glass to creativity and connection in this one-of-a-kind event where the art of winemaking meets the strategy of design. The Art of Wine at Garagiste Wine Bar is an interactive tasting experience curated specifically for our AIA Las Vegas community, including AIA, Assoc. AIA, and Allied members. This event explores the analytical and creative intersection of sensory storytelling and spatial design, empowering members to elevate their practice and add deeper value to their projects.

Guests will be treated to three full glasses of distinctive wines. As you taste each one, we will uncover how terroir, fermentation, and barrel aging influence a wine’s aroma, color, and mouthfeel. We will analyze how these nuanced, foundational processes mirror the strategic decisions made in material selection, lighting, and narrative design. This live, introductory course is designed to inspire new ways to engage clients, enrich hospitality environments, and transform the built environment through intentional spatial storytelling.

Learning Highlights:

• Understand the key stages of winemaking and analyze their specific sensory outcomes.
• Explore how environmental factors (terroir) and aging techniques directly impact flavor profiles and the end-user experience.
• Draw strategic, creative parallels between the art of winemaking and architectural design disciplines.
• Learn to craft compelling, story-driven presentations that provide measurable value and connect deeply with clients.

Whether you are a wine enthusiast or a professional looking to expand your strategic toolkit, this experience—presented by the AIA Las Vegas Women in Architecture Committee—offers a fresh, visionary perspective on design through the art of wine. Don’t miss this unforgettable blend of education, design, and inspiration aimed at elevating our local design community
