The Grand Tour: A Five-Course Food & Wine Experience Oct 3rd

Saturday, October 3rd

Pack your appetite and join us for an unforgettable culinary journey around the world. In this elevated food and wine pairing experience, we’ll travel through five celebrated culinary regions, exploring the flavors, ingredients, and traditions that make each destination unique.

Guided by Chef, you’ll enjoy five thoughtfully composed courses, each paired with a wine or sake selected to complement and enhance the dish. Along the way, Chef will share the inspiration behind each course, demonstrate select culinary techniques, and explore what makes each pairing work—from acidity and richness to aroma, texture, and balance.
