Each Tasting Night will feature recipes flavored and marinated with our delicious olive oil and balsamic vinegars. We will demonstrate how to prepare the dishes, share the featured recipes with you, and you will get to sample each of the recipes made. Dishes may include a combination of main dish, side dish, drinks, desserts, or appetizer recipes. Most demos will include 2 dishes prepared at the event and an additional one prepared ahead of time and then discussed, all will be sampled, and all will be given to gests on a printed recipe sheet at the event. See the Next & Past Dishes link below to view our gallery of what is to come or has been done.
Following the demo and sampling, you can also enjoy an after hours tasting of the nearly 50 oils and balsamics we carry. New purchases may be made the same night of the demo along with pre order pick ups. Please save refill requests for our regular walk in hours. Refill bottles require extra time and can be difficult to keep up with the number of guests in attendance on Recipe Demo nights.
Our recipe tasting and demo is a way for us to share our passion with you, try new things, and get together for a bit of tasty and social fun!
We hope you will enjoy our food & fun evenings! Join us soon!
