Held at the historic Chateau Frank, the sparkling wine house of Dr. Frank Winery, this two-day event brings together timeless food and wine pairings, literary inspiration, and the mystique of the Ides of March — all set against the backdrop of the upcoming spring awakening in the vineyards.

Each seating will be an intimate affair, with only 30 guests per time slot, ensuring a personal and thought-provoking experience. The feast will be guided by our Resident Sommelier, Jason Ferris, in tandem with the creative team at Lake Life Catering, who will take you on a journey through five exquisite courses, each inspired by a Shakespearean quote. These culinary delights will not only satisfy your palate but challenge your imagination, as each dish is paired with esoteric, small-lot wines from the esteemed Dr. Frank Winery portfolio.

The menu is a celebration of nuance, vibrancy, and depth — just as Shakespeare’s words have been for centuries. From playful contrasts to rich harmonies, the food and wine pairings echo the complexity of the Bard’s work, bringing Shakespeare’s timeless themes to life on your plate. As winter begins its slow retreat and the vineyards are on the cusp of renewal, this event offers the perfect blend of theatrical buzz and delicious indulgence in the doldrums of the season.
