APRIL 7 – April 21, 2008
Deconstructing Dinner Series Festival Preview Events
 

At each restaurant, an exclusive meal and six accompanying wines will be served at approximately 8:00pm. Now here is the unique part: guests arrive for a 6:30pm pre-dinner deconstruction seminar, where they will be taken through the thinking behind the evening’s menu, showing why specific pairings of food and wine have been chosen. Taste all six wines together with chef, sommelier and wine expert, as you have fun deconstructing the dinner soon to be served. Once the evening is complete, you will have had a front row seat to the art of wine and food pairing and you will be ready to enjoy further wine events during the Festival’s main line-up from May 5th – 10th. To book your Deconstructing Dinner spot please contact the restaurant of your choice directly.
