North Park: Tour of France 3-Course Wine Dinner + 2023 River Cruise Information w/Chef Erin Sealy: Wed. 7/20

An intimate wine dinner featuring fantastic wines from Provence, Burgundy and Rhone, plus some Q+A for Chef Erin's next river cruise!

Please join us for our next dinner at our North Park location! This 3-course dinner will focus on wines of France, including Burgundy, Provence and Rhone.  It's no coincidence that these regions also represent the parts of France that we'll be cruising through on Chef Erin's next river cruise! These wines are perfect for the summer months, we'll be featuring a delicious Provence Rose, a medium-bodied Burgundy and a bold and spicy selection from Rhone. Chef Erin will feature French themed courses for each pairing. In additional to a fantastic dinner, we will also be discussing the format, logistics and general Q + A for the April 2023 river cruise, on which Erin will be a Guest Chef. We're also happy to announce that the $750pp discount has been extended until the end of July! Our group Travel Agent, Adam Martindale and a representative from AMA, will also be in attendance to answer any questions you may have.

Already registered for the cruise? Great, this event is COMPLIMENTARY (please contact us for seats) for any guests already registered, so you will also have the chance to get to know your fellow travelers! Should you decide to join after attending the dinner, we'll issue you a credit to use for a future dinner.

* Please note, this dinner will take place on the second floor in event space. A flight of exterior, low-rise stairs is the only way to access this event area.

We're happy to announce the return of 3-course dinners; offering an incredible value at a time when we're all only hearing about increasing costs. Once a month I will offer an abbreviated, 3-course dinner at either HardiHood in North Park or Drift Cafe in Pacific Beach. This equates to a full meal (appetizer, two light entrees and complimentary dessert) along with 3 paired wines, still 3oz pours of each. It is the same great concept of wine pairing with discussions on both the wine and food. 

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.
