60 MinsFollowing its sold-out success in 2025, the Alliance Française is delighted to bring back Immersive Bites: A VR Culinary Exploration for 2026. This innovative event combines cutting-edge virtual reality with exquisite real-world tastings, offering guests a multi-sensory journey across the globe.
Step inside the kitchens of Michelin-starred French chef Hélène Darroze and acclaimed sushi master Yumi Shiba through immersive VR storytelling. Experience their culinary artistry up close as they guide you through the techniques, flavors, and stories behind their iconic dishes. Between each virtual encounter, guests will enjoy tasting-sized dishes — one savoury, one sweet — carefully crafted by South Australian chef Benjamin Sharp. Using premium local ingredients and paired with exceptional regional wines, each dish reflects both the inspiration of these world-class chefs and the richness of South Australian produce.
Immersive Bites is more than a tasting experience; it is a celebration of global gastronomy, local craftsmanship, and the future of dining. Combining technology, storytelling, and flavour, it promises an unforgettable experience and a highlight of the 2026 Tasting Australia program.
