Over the weekend, special invited guests attended the soft launch of a new restaurant and lounge in Cayo District.\u00a0 It\u2019s called 3 Senses and it\u2019s a fine-dining experience that appeals to the faculties of sight, smell and taste.\u00a0 The brainchild of a husband and wife couple that migrated to Belize from Germany, 3 Senses is an extension of Vanilla Hills Lodge and its their initiative to bring European wine culture to the Jewel.\u00a0 In a sponsored segment we\u2019ll take a firsthand look at the new 3 Senses.\u00a0 Here\u2019s News Five\u2019s Isani Cayetano.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the pinnacle of gourmet dining, the harmonious marriage between a well-chosen bottle of wine and a dish transcends taste boundaries.\u00a0 Wine does more than accompany a meal; it complements, contrasts, and enhances each bite, unfolding layers of complexity that captivate the senses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe concept behind 3 Senses is really that we want to specifically provide a very nice experience for our Belizean guests, not only for the tourists.\u00a0 And the name 3 Senses comes from the fact that if you want to have a nice meal, or a nice experience with food and beverages, all three senses they need to be pleased.\u00a0 You need to see something, it needs to be appealing for the eyes, if you smell it, it should smell very nice and finally, the taste buds, they need to be satisfied as well.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The soft glow of string lights glimmer across wood and glass architecture, fire dances on water, and the air is infused with the aroma of wine and food.\u00a0 Each sip and bite are carefully choreographed and designed to create a distinct sensory experience.\u00a0 Welcome to 3 Senses, a restaurant and lounge nestled in the heart of Vanilla Hills, just outside of San Ignacio.<\/p>\n

\u201c3 Senses, first of all, it is something that was born between my wife and myself, you know. We have a hotel, this is a hotel here, and we are close to San Ignacio.\u00a0 So what you want to do is give your guests a reason to stay at the hotel in the evening and not go to town, so you want to create something nice.\u00a0 That\u2019s how it started.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since then, Claudia Konig and her husband, Franklin Syrowatka, have invested significantly in an outdoor experience that embodies the spirit of Cayo District.\u00a0 The couple fell in love with western Belize when they relocated from Germany over a decade ago.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Franklyn Syrowatka<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI came up with this circular shape of the lounge because, I think, it closes you in a little but it opens up to the pool.\u00a0 Doing it like that, we could create these little nooks, you know, for two people, divided by plants.\u00a0 So that\u2019s how we started.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fine-dining experience here goes beyond mere sustenance, it is an art form and a celebration of life\u2019s pleasures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Claudi Konig<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve created a classy and sophisticated place for our Belizean guests to come here to give yourself a treat, to enjoy the evening and maybe to get an experience you\u2019ve never had before.\u00a0 To taste a whiskey you have never heard of before or just to kind of get use to drinking wine in Belize.\u00a0 Most Belizeans, they are not really familiar with wine and you can\u2019t blame them because in the past it was not really in the culture here.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The ambiance of 3 Senses whispers sophistication, inviting guests to embark on a culinary journey like no other.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Claudia Konig<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently, we have fifty different kinds of wine on our shelves and we try to bring a very good experience with wine to our customers.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Isani Cayetano<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you believe is the draw or the centerpiece for anyone who comes to 3 Senses?\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Franklin Syrowatka <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWell I believe it is the fire and the water, from a visual point of view, and then of course we have a wide selection of wines, you know, so we want to be ambassadors for wine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Isani Cayetano<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>And whiskey.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Franklin Syrowatka <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd whiskey, yes.\u00a0 Although I must admit, my heart is where the wine grows because I grew up in a wine growing area of Germany and it was part of the culture there.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"In this symphony of flavors, wine and food intertwine, leaving behind not just a meal but a cherished memory, a sensory masterpiece etched in time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Claudia Konig<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFirst of all, I would like to say big thanks to my husband, who is the mastermind behind the concept and to all the workers who participated and who are working for us, to kind of finish or fulfill our dream and big thanks to our amazing staff.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
