Art Basel 2022
November 30, 2022
Ignite, Engage, Inspire
Wine and art share many synergies and commonalities in the way they present themselves, their unique points of view, and engage our minds (and palates) in new and exciting ways - both communally and individually. To showcase these parallels, Sommsation took over Art Basel 2022 to share our latest on-site wine tasting experiences - amplified by the incredible artists, patrons, and atmospheres that surrounded our immersive tasting experiences.The opportunity to share in these transformative exhibits with the Art Basel 2022 community has been remarkable. As the exhibits continue in Miami, we wanted to share our real time updates and recaps with our Sommsation community to expand the experiences beyond the MIA.
A toast to 20 years of Art Basel, Miami Beach.

We aimed to have something for everyone with the style and types of wine,” Lovenworth notes. “Offering both familiar favorites and more esoteric wines for people looking to try something new.
