The Concept:
A multisensory tasting experience where guests explore the botanical notes of various gins, each paired with a custom mini dish or small plate that highlights its unique flavor profile. Think of it as a guided "gin flight" with food pairings, similar to a wine and cheese night—but elevated and more niche.
Event Flow:
Welcome Cocktail: Signature house gin cocktail on arrival.
Guided Tasting Stations: 6 gin stations, each with a bite-sized dish created to enhance its botanicals
