I help people awaken their palate and their presence, so every sip and bite becomes a doorway to connection, confidence, and joy.

Hi I’m yakira!

I’m a palate guide and storyteller who crafts immersive, five-sense tasting experiences that awaken presence through pleasure. Blending a deep background in tech and human–computer interaction with years in wine, beer, and spirits education, I help guests name new flavor notes, map their personal palate, and share it with others. My message is simple: awaken your palate, awaken your soul.
