The Spirit of the Mediterranean — Exclusive Wine Tasting & Live Painting at Bleu Provence — August 19
The Mediterranean is not merely a place — it is a way of seeing.
Join us at Bleu Provence for an intimate evening where wine, art, and the luminous spirit of the Mediterranean come together. From the sun-washed shores of Corsica and Sardinia to Sicily, Greece, Mallorca, and Croatia, this curated tasting follows a coastline shaped by sea breezes, ancient vines, and enduring traditions.
As each wine is poured, multidisciplinary artist and storyteller Dani Papa will exhibit his work and create a live painting throughout the evening. His distinctive Urban Tribal style brings together portraiture, mixed media, intuitive mark-making, and automatic drawing — transforming the evening into a spontaneous visual conversation between place, time, movement, and memory.
Born from a practice informed by Greek heritage and mythology, Dani Papa’s work explores the ideas that define the Mediterranean: identity, landscape, history, and the beauty of human connection. Between each tasting, our kitchen will offer a selection of house-made hors d’oeuvres, thoughtfully prepared to complement the wines and elevate the experience.
