Exclusive Sensory Signature

The drink is the last word
you offer.
It should be unforgettable.

Bar consulting, beverage consulting and cachaça events specialized in turning the drink into a sensory differentiator that guests photograph, recommend and return to taste.

Discover my project's potential

The drink is the only experience that activates
all five senses at once.
And the only one shared in a toast.

You invest in architecture. In cuisine. In service. In location. All of it competes for the guest's attention.

The drink doesn't compete. It concludes.
It's the last thing that enters the body before departure. The one that stays in memory. The one that becomes a story told to friends — in the toast, in the photo, in the review.

If that last word is generic, everything before it loses force.
If it's signed — unique, yours, of that place — it becomes the reason to return.

Understand how this works
Isadinha in a sensory consulting session, holding a spirits tasting glass

"Aprendi a construir desejo onde ele é mais difícil de fabricar: no luxo sensorial."

This isn't beverage consulting.
It's brand-building through taste.

I research what sustains a place, a brand or a moment — its origin, its audience, its history.

Then I turn it into a drink. Into a recipe. Into narrative. Into a ritual that repeats every day with consistency and pride.

The result isn't a pretty product. It's an experience recognized as exclusive — one you won't find anywhere else in the world.

Three areas of work

01
Sensory Drink Signature — Luxury Hospitality Bar and beverage consulting for hotels, resorts and restaurants: signature menus and exclusive programs that translate each destination's identity into a memorable experience.
02
Brands & Market Beverage consulting for brands: product development and positioning, from concept to shelf — market strategy, sensory development, sensory analysis and activations that fix the brand in memory. Cia dos Fermentados, Da Tulha, Leblon, among others.
03
Events — Brasil Ritual Atlas Cachaça events and sensory immersion: not just cachaça — exclusive, authorial, never-before-seen products. For corporate events, in direct analogy with the message of the moment. For receptions and brand activations.

Brasil Ritual Atlas runs through all three areas: it is the invitation to an experience that carries the desired message in ingredients and drinks — in a hotel, a brand or an event.

I want to understand if this fits

Places, brands and moments
that already have their last word.

01 · Luxury Hospitality

Isadinha at Belmond Cap Juluca with a craft drink, Caribbean sea view

Anguilla, Caribbean

Belmond Cap Juluca

An iconic resort needed a last word worthy of it. We created a sensory signature that translates the Caribbean into a sip — one no other place in the world can serve.

The drink became a brand differentiator — photographed, talked about, remembered.

Isadinha at Vila dos Orixás with a craft drink, cultural sculptures in the background

Morro de São Paulo, Bahia

Vila dos Orixás

A place with deep cultural narrative deserved a drink worthy of that history. We developed a program that makes guests stop — and ask about the meaning of every sip.

A cultural experience guests carry in memory — and tell their friends about.

Salvador, Bahia

Grupo Origem

Chef Fabrício Lemos's cuisine has identity. The drink needed to dance — not compete. We created a signature that dialogues with every dish and expands the dining experience. Consulting for the first bar in the Northeast to enter 50 Best Restaurants — a group of six high-level venues.

The drink became part of the restaurant's culinary critique.

Isadinha at Mahre Resort with a botanical drink, tropical nature in the background

Milagres, Alagoas

Mahre Resort

A luxury eco-resort with a calling for nature and silence. We developed a botanical drink with local herbs that is exactly that place — the journey that doesn't end on the trail.

A signature that translates nature into a sip — exclusive to the destination.

02 · Brands & Market

Da Tulha Cachaça

An artisanal cachaça that needed a narrative worthy of the process. We worked on sensory identity and positioning for the premium market.

Presence built on origin narrative, not on price.

Cia dos Fermentados

Ferments demand their own sensory language. We worked on narrative and positioning for a category still taking shape in Brazil.

One of the country's few players with dedicated sensory curation for the category.

03 · Events — Brasil Ritual Atlas

Brasil Ritual Atlas — sensory immersion at events and activations

Events & Activations

Brasil Ritual Atlas

Not just cachaça — exclusive, authorial, never-before-seen products, presented through sensory immersion. Every event speaks to the message of the moment, whether a corporate activation or a brand reception.

Every toast is built as an argument — not a formality.

For luxury hotels

Brazil Immersion

A sensory experience that brings your guests Brazilian drinks and ingredients — researched, authorial and blended with ingredients from elsewhere, which is what Brazilian culture truly is.

Led by Isadinha, Cocktail Personality of the Year 2026 by Prazeres da Mesa and the first and only Brazilian spirits judge at Concours Mondial de Bruxelles. Available year-round.

Bar, beverage and event consulting: what you need to know.

Who is Isadinha?

Isadora Bello Fornari, known as Isadinha, is a sommelier, sensory curator and beverage consultant. She is the first and only Brazilian spirits judge at Concours Mondial de Bruxelles, was named Cocktail Personality of the Year 2026 by Prazeres da Mesa, and consults for Grupo Origem, the first bar in Brazil's Northeast to enter 50 Best Restaurants.

What does bar, hotel and restaurant consulting involve?

It covers a full understanding of concept, operation, bottlenecks and opportunities. After working together with the team and managers, we align every point to deliver an optimized flow, a sharp message and greater profit.

How does the work go, from diagnosis to implementation?

The work is tailored to the reality of each venue: every space's calling and flow must be understood to chart the best route, like a car trip. The stages are: initial analysis, conceptualization and sustainability strategy; study of suppliers and partners; tests and menu definition; bar and floor training; optimized pricing; implementation and adjustments.

How long does a bar consulting project take?

Every project has its own character. The average period is 120 days.

How much does bar or beverage consulting cost?

Every project is unique and the proposal is tailored. We also run discounted projects when we see a social cause and a benefit of knowledge for the local population.

Do you work in any city or country?

Yes. We work anywhere.

What is the difference between consulting for a hotel, a brand and an event?

Hotels, bars and restaurants are signatures of the place. A brand is a signature that expands the product. Events translate a message in a sensory way.

What is Brasil Ritual Atlas?

It is an invitation to an experience that carries the desired message in ingredients and drinks. Brazil is infinite in combinations, so everything can be translated into toasts.

What is Brazil Immersion for hotels?

A sensory experience for guests of luxury hotels, with Brazilian drinks and ingredients that are researched and blended with ingredients from elsewhere, led by Isadinha. It can be offered year-round.

Does the consulting include any management tool?

Yes. Along with bar consulting, you get access to a real-time sales and consumption control tool built exclusively for you.

Isadinha Fornari, founder of Travessias Brasil

Every project starts with
an honest question:
is your space ready?

Not every space is. And that's perfectly fine.

That's why we created a quick mapping — eight questions that help understand where you stand, what differentiators you already have and what still needs to be developed.

You receive a clear diagnosis. I reach out personally to talk about what's possible.

No prior commitment

No generic proposal

Every project is unique — every place has its own calling
