Chef & Winemaker Dinner Series: Fruits of Summer

Summer produce gets the full dinner-party treatment at this City Winery pairing, where the menu is built around the season rather than treating it as an afterthought. The chef-winemaker format gives the evening a little more structure than a standard night out, with food and wine planned to work together course by course. For diners who usually have to choose between a serious meal and a tasting, that combination is the main reason to book. The summer focus also makes this feel appropriately timed: expect the menu to lean into the bright, fresh ingredients that are at their best right now. It is a good fit for a date or small group that wants dinner to feel like an occasion without going all the way into fine-dining formality. Come for the seasonal menu, stay for the wine, and let someone else handle the pairings.
