POP THE CORK FOR 2015 AT CIBO TRATTORIA AND UVA WINE & COCKTAIL BAR
Gala Party With Live Band, Decadent Food Menus, Boutique Hotel Package Highlight New Year’s Eve Celebrations at Chic Vancouver Hotspot
Cibo Trattoria and UVA Wine & Cocktail Bar are winding back the clock as the calendar flips to a new year this Dec. 31 by joining forces to host an indulgent, turn-of-the-century-themed New Year’s Eve extravaganza.
At Cibo Trattoria, Executive Chef Faizal Kassam will welcome guests for two decadent dinner seatings that showcase his rustic Italian-inspired cuisine. The first seating, at 5 p.m., features three courses for $69 along with a limited number of à-la-carte options while the second, at 9 p.m., offers five courses for $99 and a glass of bubbly upon arrival as well as party favours to celebrate the stroke of midnight. Wine pairings courtesy of Cibo’s noted General Manager and Sommelier Robert Stelmachuk are also available for both seatings.
Space at Cibo’s two New Year’s Eve seatings is limited. Guests are encouraged to secure their reservation early by calling (604) 602-9570 or by booking online at www.cibotrattoria.ca.
Next door starting at 9 p.m., UVA Wine & Cocktail Bar will host revelers for an unforgettable, belle époque-inspired countdown bash that will conjure up images of Fitzgerald, Hemingway and turn-of-the-century French gluttony. While Bar Manager Lauren Mote and her staff shake up vaudeville-themed cocktails and pass out party treats sponsored by Chartreuse, Carpano, Herradura, Jack Daniels and Woodford Reserve, partygoers will be transported to the small 1900s cabarets of Paris and New York with the trademark brassy jazz stylings of the Rod Murray Trio featuring trombonist and frontman Murray, drummer Joe Poole and keyboardist Chris Sigerson.
Tickets to New Year’s Eve at UVA Wine & Cocktail Bar are $30 per person and may be purchased via Eventbrite.
