THE ART OF TASTE

Where culinary artistry, culture, and human connection meet.

The Art of Taste is an intimate, traveling dinner series created and curated by Petra Berg, the Austrian-born designer and founder of +Beryll. Inspired by her belief that a shared table can foster meaningful connection, each edition brings together a carefully selected community of artists, designers, foodies, collectors, founders, and cultural voices—often people whose paths might never otherwise cross.

Hosted in culturally significant settings, from artists’ studios and galleries to historic homes and architectural landmarks, every evening is created in dialogue with its surroundings. A seasonal multi-course menu by Michelin-star-trained Chef Luis Berg brings together culinary artistry, wine, design, and conversation as one immersive experience.

Born in Paris and continuing through Los Angeles, Vienna, Rome, Athens, and beyond, each gathering is entirely unique, yet the intention remains the same: to slow down, be present, and leave the table feeling inspired and connected.

The Art of Taste is more than a dinner. It is a celebration of taste in every sense—and of the human connections that stay with us long after the final course.

Upcoming Event

Art of Taste Mallorca x 3SSENCE x Gemstonian Crystals

Come curious. Come present. This is not just a dinner, it is an experience to be lived and shared, long after the last course is served.

Meet The Chef

Luis Dynamite Berg

Luis Dynamite Berg

Executive Chef

Chef Luis Dynamite Berg approaches food as a form of art - expressive, intentional, and meant to be experienced. Born in Austria and raised in California, his cooking lives at the intersection of European precision and West Coast creativity.

His work is informed by time spent in some of the world’s most respected Michelin-starred kitchens, including Gucci Osteria in Beverly Hills and Amador in Vienna. These global influences come through in the way flavors are layered, textures are balanced, and plates are composed with confidence and elegance.

Each dish tells a story. For Chef Luis cooking is precise yet expressive, guided by taste, texture, and intuition - inviting guests to slow down, engage their senses, and discover something unexpected with every course.
