Event questions
Do I need to know about wine to come to a class?
No. The Tuesday classes are for curious people, whether you drink wine every night or just started. Camille doesn’t assume anything and nobody gets quizzed.
How do the winemaker dinners work?
We close the dining room to regular service, set shared tables for up to 28 guests, and serve a fixed menu with a pour for each course. The winemaker introduces each wine. They take place on the second Thursday of the month, and sign-ups open about six weeks ahead.
Can I get a refund for a class or dinner?
Yes, up to a day before. Cancel with the link in your confirmation and your payment goes back to your card. If the event is full, you can join the waitlist.
Planning your own dinner?
The Back Room seats 16 at one long table. We’ll build a menu and a wine plan with you.
