The above are only a tempting taste of what will be happening on August 15th – to see the complete array check out the full participant list for locations, menus and photos.
Regardless of the location, all diners will be treated to a specially-designed multiple-course menu, wines selected to complement that menu, a special table or location and an opportunity to meet and chat with the chefs and restaurateurs.
All Summerdine dinners are priced at $80 per person and include the multi-course meal with wine (gratuity not included). The one exception is the Victoria Summerdine which is priced at $100 per person.
Not a bad deal when you consider the price of a good meal including wine or how hard it is to get reservations at some of these places while others are once-in-a-lifetime opportunities. Seats go on sale July 6 at www.lesdames.ca and are sure to sell out quickly. Don’t miss your chance to participate in one of the most unique dining experiences of the summer. All funds raised from Summerdine go to support Les Dames d’Escoffier BC Chapter’s Scholarship and Outreach programs.
