We are gearing up for the second in our series of
French regional wine dinners—this time, we’re going to the Loire Valley.
And the date is Valentine’s Day, so grab your sweetie, bring your bestie, or just invite yourself (as the lovely Emma Watson calls it, self-partnering!) and join us for an evening of gorgeous food and wine.
Along with all the châteaux, the region is known for exquisite wines and dishes that celebrate fresh produce from the local farms, orchards, dairies, and rivers…kind of like the Willamette Valley. We’ll share highlights from the region’s gastronomy as we serve up some of our favorite things to eat and drink.
Final menu will be posted soon (hint: Tarte Tatin might be involved), but know that you’ll enjoy a four-course menu cooked by Martha (who holds the Grand Diplôme from La Varenne cooking school, merci beaucoup), with wines thoughtfully curated by John to dance with every course.
What to expect:
Four course meal, paired with wines.
A casual dinner party, where you get to sit back, enjoy the evening, ask questions, and engage with the food and wine experts.
Seating is limited to 12 people, so sign up soon!
Who are we, by the way? We are John D’Anna and Martha Holmberg, a couple of veteran food and wine pros who love to share deliciousness with others, through tastings, dinners, and other special culinary evenings.
Our recent events include a cooking class-birthday party, a team-building dinner for eight professional women, several Oregon pinot noir tastings, and the first in our French dinner series, which was on the Rhône and was a sell-out!
But we’re still a start-up and can use all the love we can get, so please share our info with your friends and colleagues. We’re happy to talk about tailoring an event just for you. Follow us on Instagram @johnmarthaeatdrink.
