Enjoy an evening of high-quality wines, food and a silent auction at Baton Rouge Epicurean Society’s fourth annual Fête du Vin event at Juban’s Creole Restaurant Wednesday, June 28, 6:30-9:30 p.m.
The event, usually held the same day as the Epicurean Society’s Food & Wine Fête in August, has been turned into its own freestanding event this year. Epicurean Society Executive Director Melissa Parmelee says separating the events gives Fête du Vin attendees more time to taste and learn about the wines with wine professionals without worrying about missing parts of the main event.
At Fête du Vin, guests can sample more than 65 wines while tasting dishes from five local award-winning chefs: Colt Patin from Louisiana Culinary Institute, Joey Daigle from Juban’s Creole Restaurant, Kelley McCann featuring Kaila Mogg-Stone Kay from Kalurah Street Grill, Chris Motto from Mansurs on the Boulevard and William Wells from Culinary Productions.
