Immersive experiences launched for Augusta locals, guests
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Destination Augusta and 10 unique Augusta attractions and experiences are launching the Authentic Augusta Experiences Collection.
Authentic Augusta is a curated collection of the city’s best sights and experiences.
The immersive experiences were designed over a year-long development process.
“People want unique, one-of-a-kind experiences that engage them in something memorable,” said Destination Augusta’s Jennifer Bowen. “Authentic Augusta Experiences are specially designed to engage the five senses: taste, smell, sight, sound, and touch. When each of these senses is engaged, a memory is sure to be made.”
Each experience will be offered at least twice a month to the public and available to be scheduled by groups for custom times. They include:
- Bartender for a Day, All Equal Parts – become a bartender for the day in a one-of-a-kind mixology experience.
