Dining In the Dark Experience

Friday 09 Jul 2010

Embark on an intimate evening of fine dining whilst blindfolded, you will be encouraged to explore the world of sensory perception.  The three course meal will be prepared with fresh local produce by New Zealand chef and author Julie Biuso and Julie Woods, otherwise known as ‘that blind woman’, and the team at Otago Polytechnic TECHnique Restaurant.

Be challenged to experience life when one of our major senses goes, with an inspirational talk from one of NZ’s leading ophthalmologist Dr Andrew  Thompson with an update on the latest research and his volunteer work restoring lost vision through providing glasses or cataract surgery in the Pacific.

A donation will be made to Retina NZ for research into the long term follow up of photo screening for eye disease in children.

$70 per person.  Costs incl. 3 course meal and one glass of wine or juice per course. Cash bar available

Keep an eye out on the festival site for another dining in the dark experience.

Location: TECHnique Restaurant, Harbour Terrace, Dunedin
