Wine & Dance

Calendar Design For Wine Education

client: Les Clos Elysées

This project explores a design question: How can a visual object support wine education without feeling like advertising?

Concept

During my WSET studies, I began to notice that wine merchants do more than sell bottles. They educate customers, host tastings, and introduce wine culture gradually.

The result is a conceptual 2026 calendar that pairs wine categories with dance styles, translating flavor profiles into rhythm and movement.

The calendar becomes not only a promotional object, but also a cultural tool that invites people to experience wine through visual storytelling.

Process

Research on dance and wine set the mood. Each month started as a pencil sketch pairing one wine with one dance, from January to December.
