Events

Special Events

Throughout the year, we host thoughtfully curated evenings designed to bring people closer to the table. Seasonal wine dinners. Chef-led culinary experiences. Celebrations that feel intentional, not routine. Each event reflects the Baldwin family standard. Menus crafted with precision. Wines selected with depth. Cocktails built to set the mood. Seats are limited. The atmosphere is not replicated. Check back often to see what’s unfolding next.

Cooking Classes

Spend the night with Chefs Gabriella and Michael Baldwin as they guide you through an intimate, behind-the-scenes culinary experience. These live demonstrations go beyond technique — offering insight into the flavors, traditions, and discipline that shape our kitchen.

Your evening unfolds as a curated tasting dinner, each course prepared before you and served with intention.

Fine food deserves fine wine. Lead Sommeliers Jeffrey Baldwin and Brian Herbon pair each dish with thoughtfully selected wines, alongside a welcome cocktail to begin the night. Every detail is considered.

You’ll leave not only satisfied, but inspired — with recipes in hand so you can recreate the experience at home.
