The pairing-menu dinner will feature five delicious dishes paired with four exceptional wines, each one carefully selected to enhance the flavors and textures of the food.

The final dish of the evening is a mouthwatering Filet Mignon with crispy maitake mushroom, perfectly paired with Honig Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Ashley Egelhoff from Honig winery is the talented winemaker behind this exceptional wine.

To end the night on a sweet note, an apple brie tart will be served with coffee or tea. Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to learn about each wine style and the remarkable women behind them.
