Dining in the Dark

Dining in the Dark is rare and unique sensory awareness experience that will take guests on a journey of taste, sound, and touch…all in the dark. Created in Germany, Dining in the Dark is a one-of-a kind concept that has been enjoyed by many people across Europe. Moving the concept to America in 2005, Dining in the Dark has been experienced by thousands of people wanting a peek into an unfamiliar world.

This unforgettable evening begins with guests being led into the ballroom to begin the first course of dinner and the Visionary Award program. After the program is complete, you will begin the journey of Dining in the Dark. Every table will enjoy the service of one server that is dedicated to ensuring you enjoy the experience to the fullest! Your server will describe the food on your plate, help you distinguish the wine bottles on the table, and escort you in and out of the room when needed. After all the guests are seated, the lights are lowered into complete darkness. Guests embark on a journey of exploration and inhibition.
