Redefining taste: the wine pairing experience Hong Kong didn’t know it needed.

At Dans le Noir ? Hong Kong, we invite you to explore wine as you have never done before—without the influence of sight. Hosted in complete darkness at Le Méridien Hong Kong, Cyberport, our wine pairing experience redefines the relationship between flavour, perception and emotion. 

More than a dinner, this is an invitation to rediscover your senses and to challenge everything you think you know about food and drink. 

Sight often dominates how we perceive food and drink. The colour of wine, the arrangement of a dish, the glow of a candlelit table—these all influence our expectations before a single taste. But what happens when sight is no longer part of the equation? 

In the absence of visual cues, your senses of smell, taste, touch and hearing intensify. You are no longer guided by labels, colours or presentation, but by instinct and sensation. This shift is what makes our sensory wine tasting—or mocktail tasting—so compelling and so unexpected. 

Each pairing experience begins in our welcoming lounge, where guests are introduced to the journey ahead. Once seated in complete darkness, you are guided by our team who accompany you throughout the entire tasting. 

Carefully selected by our sommelier and in collaboration with Le Méridien’s culinary team, each beverage—wine or alcohol-free pairing—is matched with a surprise dish to elevate its character and create a seamless food and drink dialogue. Whether a refined glass of Sauvignon or a crafted botanical infusion, each combination is designed to intrigue, not to overwhelm. 

We do not reveal the details of what you are served until the very end. This approach allows each guest to focus solely on sensation—taste, texture, temperature, and aroma—without any preconception. 

More and more businesses are turning to experiential dining in Hong Kong as a way to engage teams, clients or partners in a meaningful way. At Dans le Noir ? Hong Kong, we regularly welcome corporate groups for private tastings and sensory dinners. The experience encourages active listening, collaboration and empathy—skills that often extend well beyond the table. 

In a professional context, our unique wine experience also serves as an elegant and thoughtful alternative to traditional team-building or client entertainment. And for guests who prefer to avoid alcohol, the mocktail pairing offers a fully inclusive format without compromising on flavour or sophistication. 

Whether you are organising a corporate event or simply seeking a wine pairing experience in Hong Kong unlike any other, we offer tailor-made formats for groups of all sizes, with options that include guided blind tastings, multi-course sensory menus, and curated pairings—alcoholic or not. 

Many guests leave surprised—not only by the wines and dishes themselves, but by how much they discovered about their own preferences once sight was removed. Some realise they had never truly tasted a Merlot until now; others find themselves rethinking their usual choices altogether. 

By removing sight, we reveal just how much the other senses contribute to our enjoyment of food and drink. For those who consider themselves connoisseurs—or simply curious—this is a chance to test their palate in a setting that is both refined and radically different. 

Dans le Noir ? was founded not only to offer immersive dining experiences, but to foster inclusion and raise awareness of visual impairment in an elegant and engaging way. Our guides are at the heart of what we do, and their expertise transforms a simple dinner into a human encounter. 

In partnering with Le Méridien Hong Kong, we are proud to bring this concept to Asia with the high standards of service and hospitality that define both our brands. The result is a dining experience that is as seamless as it is surprising. 

Our sensory tasting menus are available by reservation only. Two options are currently offered: 

SENSORY JOURNEY - Three-course menu (starter, main, dessert) with wine or mocktail pairing – $980 +10% service charge 

SENSORY AWAKENING - Three-course menu without pairing – $750 +10% service charge 

All experiences are hosted in total darkness. Dietary restrictions are accommodated with advance notice, and the menu changes seasonally to reflect the freshest produce and beverage creations available. 

We are located inside Le Méridien Hong Kong, Cyberport, with direct access via the hotel lobby. Group bookings, corporate events and private experiences may be arranged upon request. 

Whether you are seeking a wine pairing experience in Hong Kong that pushes boundaries, or a refined and thought-provoking way to connect with your guests, we invite you to join us at Dans le Noir ?.
