What is a pop-up dinner event?

Well, it depends on who is doing it. This is how we do it: We dream of international destinations where there are lots of good eats (the more exotic the better). We fantasize what the ultimate menu might be at this destination. We research what wines and beverages might pair well with these dishes. We set a table for 10 people and have one hell of a dinner a party! 

This is what makes us different: All of our pop-up events are all-inclusive prix fixe dinners. This means you get a multi-course dinner complete with wine and other beverage pairings all evening long for one fixed price. Unlike at restaurants, all taxes and tip are included as well. Since we're only inviting 10 people, these are small intimate affairs where you can easily meet other like-minded foodies and make new friends.

Yes, it's a lot of work, but it's also a lot of fun. We just pulled off a 10-course Japanese tasting menu around the theme BULLET TRAIN TO OSAKA. We're looking forward to exploring France and the Czech Republic in the near future. Here are the next three upcoming pop-ups that are already on the calendar:

• An Evening in the Cinque Terre
  Sunday, August 20, 2023: A four-course Italian pesto feast with imported wine pairings all evening long
• Greek Sunset in Santorini
  Sunday, September 17, 2023: A six-course Greek meze dinner with imported wine pairings all evening long
• Tapas Crawl in Barcelona
  Sunday, October 22, 2023: An evening of Spanish small plates with wine and sherry
