The French Dispatch: An Ode to the Loire

The French Dispatch: An Ode to the Loire

A Night of Stories, Wines & Cheese

Step into the pages of The French Dispatch, where Loire Valley wines and cheeses take center stage in a whimsical evening of taste and tale. Like the iconic vignettes of Wes Anderson’s film, we present four captivating stories—each unfolding through the wines, the makers, and the cheeses that define them.

Begin with a sparkling welcome, setting the tone for an evening that blends storytelling, nostalgia, and the unparalleled terroir of the Loire. Then, embark on a guided tasting featuring 8 wines, 8 cheeses, and 4 producer stories—a love letter to the region’s diverse expressions.

At 8 PM, the setting transforms into our Cheese Bar, where guests are free to roam, sip, and discover their perfect pairings in a convivial, walk-around format. Whether you’re here for the deep dive or just the fromage-fueled revelry, this is an evening for the curious and the cultured alike.
