Our first event, Valentine’s Date Night for Food & Wine Lovers, on February 13th was enjoyed by an intimate group and we thank you for your support and engagement that made this night a success!
As it is our intention is to share food through love while supporting local chefs and businesses. We were able to offer a collaboration from local chefs and businesses and enjoyed a delicious 3 course meal accompanied by a specially selected wine paring to create a romantic culinary experience for your date night at home.
