6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
La Grande Tente Garden Terrace Event!
Please join us Thursday, May 5th at 6pm as Chef Jacques and team welcome Hélène Jaume of Domaine Grand Veneur and Maison Alain Jaume in the Rhône Valley. Established in the northern part of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in the commune of Orange, the Jaume family has been dedicated to the art of wine growing since 1826. Founded by Mathieu Jaume, the Domaine is now run by the 5th and 6th generations of Jaumes: Alain Jaume & his children Christophe, Sébastien, and Hélène.
• “This estate and its parent company, Alain Jaume & Fils, have been staples in many American cellars for decades because they consistently combine quality and value.” –Wine Advocate
• “There are few better run estates in the world than that of the Jaume Family’s Domaine Grand Veneur.” – Jeb Dunnuck
Having proudly offered this producer’s wines for many years, we are excited to have Hélène here to present a tasting flight of her award-winning wines, then, and of course, a culinary delight wine pairing menu from Chef Jacques and his kitchen team and two additional delectable wine pairings!
Please join us for an evening of fabulous French wine and cuisine offered on our covered garden terrace 40ft x 50ft Grande Tente, complete with cooling fans, café bistro lighting, and pastoral views of our six acres, two on-site gardens, koi pond, and blooming flowers; early reservations encouraged. Merci beaucoup and see you there!
Bravo to the Rhone Valley and Bon Appétit!
