Share the Experience
At these special events, you'll likely share the experience at a table with other guests who are just as enthused as you are about the world of food and wine.
FYI
- Each Dining Series event features a fixed menu. Wines and other beverages are carefully paired with each course (and are
limited to that course) to maximize your dining experience. - When you see a Dining Series event denoted "nonrefundable prepay," that means you'll be asked to pay the full, designated amount at the time of reservation (please have your credit card available), and the event is hot, hot, hot! Due to the anticipated popularity of these events, payment is nonrefundable.
- The CIA reserves the right to substitute faculty/presenters for Dining Series events.
