Did we say Grape Expectations?! We did!
Join us for an engaging evening of Israeli wine tasting and dinner featuring Advanced Sommelier and entrepreneur, Erik Segelbaum. Our dining experience will be paired with selected wines while Segelbaum transports us back in time narrating the rich history of wines from Israel and sharing the art of wine tasting. We anticipate meeting your “Grape Expectations” with this interactive and specially curated evening.
