Don't miss an exciting evening featuring fantastic wines from cult winery, Orin Swift!

We are very excited to announce our return to The Grapevine in Lake Arrowhead. This pop-up location, which boasts beautiful views overlooking the lake in the quaint Village area of Lake Arrowhead, is everything you're looking for in a date night. Please join us for our March dinner, featuring an exceptional evening of wines from acclaimed Orin Swift Cellars. These over the top wines are crafted by renown winemaker, Dave Phinney. Each selection is a conversation piece, both in what's in the bottle and the label adorning it! We'll be pouring 5 fantastic wines, each award-winning. Rachael Perrin will be joining us to pour these exceptional wines and chat about the storied history of the winery. Chef Erin will be crafting a 5-course pairing menu to complement each wine. Expect a fantastic evening on wine, cuisine and insights from Rachael and Erin. Seating for this event is limited, please register using the link below!

Each selection will be paired with its own wine inspired dinner course, prepared by Chef Erin Sealy. Chef Erin specializes in pairing food with wine, with a slightly different approach than most. Prior to creating a menu, each wine is tasted and reviewed and then she creates a food pairing, highlighting the nuances of each wine. This concept creates a dinner and pairing experience with layers of complexity and unique creations which exemplify the enjoyment of each wine. With a passion for food and wine, Chef Erin delights attendees with a detailed account of the pairing concept and cooking techniques that create each course. Expect a fabulous evening of wine, food and educational insights! Seating is limited. Please see below for additional dinner details and a registration link.
