Oceanside Harbor: L'Aventure 4-Course Wine Dinner w/Olivier Tonnerre + Chef Erin Sealy Wed. 5/15

Don't miss an exciting two-evening dinner series, featuring acclaimed wines from L'Aventure!

We are very excited to announce our first May dinner series, including an evening at our Oceanside location, Stratford at the Harbor! For our first of two dinner series this month, we're thrilled to share a fantastic line up of wines from cult winery, L’Aventure! Crowd-favorite, Olivier Tonnerre will join us for the evening to present these highly-allocated Paso Robles wines, born from a French philosophy. This dinner will feature 4 wine selections focused around L'Aventure's new releases of the 2021 vintage. We will also include a winery-only rose to round out the dinner. Each selection will showcase L’Aventure’s vineyard excellence and dedication to the winemaking process. Expect a wonderful evening of wine, food and insights from Olivier and Chef Erin. For details on the other dinner as part of this series, please visit our events page: HERE

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.
