Join us for an interactive culinary experience that engages your taste buds, sense of smell, and the visual delight of combining two favourite foods we love to eat and drink.

Beautiful glasses with the ingredients from each course will be passed around for each person to experience the components by sight and smell.
Then, a blend of these ingredients will be used to create four different courses to taste and enjoy by everyone.
Chef Kimmi will explain each course and bring her knowledge and expertise to “the table”.
