Odyssey & Wine: An Epic Tasting · Kinship Launch

Sold out, thank you! 🍷 Our next event is on 22 November. There are spots available: https://luma.com/zpqnmwzvThis is Kinship’s very first gathering.

Odysseus spent ten years trying to get home, and wine played a bigger part in his troubles than the epic lets on.

We’ll read the Odyssey through its wine: one passage, one glass, one conversation at a time. Homer’s epic leads the way, with a few detours into Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey to see what three thousand years did to the story.

What to expect

Selected passages from Homer’s Odyssey, read aloud and discussed

A few side-by-side moments with Nolan’s film

A guided tasting of Greek wines, paired with the story

A small table, a slow evening

No homework. You don’t need to have read the epic, and you don’t need to know anything about wine. We’ll walk you through both. Watching Nolan’s film beforehand is recommended, though.
