One great example of this is the Virtual Reality Hospitality Event we hosted for the Virginia Tourism Corporation. The vision was to bring a Virginian Vineyard to central London. By harnessing virtual reality, KBC was able to offer guests a trip to Barboursville Vineyard without their feet even leaving the ground.

Our Approach.

KBC sent a specialist VR film crew to Virginia to capture bespoke 360° footage of Barboursville Vineyard. From walking through the vines to experiencing a wine tasting, the filming captured every aspect of a visit to the winery. The film crew also recorded pieces to camera by resident winemaker Luca Paschina, with the content edited into a five minute film.

Understanding the Virginia Tourism brand inside and out, we knew that iconic London venue Kachette was the perfect backdrop to host this event. The venue, with its exposed Victorian brickwork and vaulted ceilings, provided the perfect feeling of a traditional wine cellar. Guests were given a VR headset and earphones to immerse themselves in the Virginian winery experience. Through their headsets, guests experienced firsthand the wine-making process at Barboursville Vineyard. The VR experience was accompanied by associated scents being pumped into the room; including the smell of the vines and oak barrels accompanied by a sample of Barboursville Vermentino.

The Results.
