Sommsation, a premium online wine experience provider, is set to elevate the cultural landscape of the Park City Independent Film Festival with its immersive Wine Lounge experience. The company will transform Jackson's Hideaway Ski Lounge into a sophisticated wine destination, offering festival attendees a unique blend of culinary and cinematic exploration.
This year's Wine Lounge promises a diverse array of events designed to engage film enthusiasts and wine connoisseurs alike. The program includes an exclusive 'Sommsation Après Ski' event for VIP media and members, providing an early preview of curated independent wines and gourmet pairings. Guests can anticipate intimate wine tastings featuring selections from renowned wineries such as Three Sticks Wines, Terratorium Wines, Halter Ranch Winery, and Alexana Winery.
Beyond wine tastings, the lounge will host several distinctive events. The 'Art of Pairing' evenings will showcase ultra-premium wines with live chef demonstrations, while 'After Hours with DJ Joune' will offer champagne tastings accompanied by musical performances. A notable highlight includes the PowerFlix Launch Party, where film industry veterans will introduce their new tech platform for film distribution.
Demonstrating a commitment to community support, Sommsation will conclude the festival weekend with a fundraising event dedicated to helping Los Angeles communities affected by recent wildfires. As the official wine partner of the Rendezvous Cinema Center, the company will also provide wine experiences for VIP film premieres.
CEO Danielle Diliberti emphasized the company's mission to connect wine lovers with exceptional, small-production wineries, drawing a parallel between the storytelling of independent films and the craftsmanship of artisan winemakers. By creating these immersive experiences, Sommsation aims to spotlight hidden wine gems and provide a platform for independent producers to showcase their unique offerings.
The Sommsation Wine Lounge represents more than a mere hospitality pop-up; it is a celebration of artistic expression across both the wine and film industries, offering festival-goers an opportunity to explore and appreciate the nuanced craftsmanship behind independent productions.
