The dinner begins at 7 p.m., starting with a brief discussion on the availability of varieties of local honey, from savory to sweet.

Cost is $95 per person, which includes honey meads from several local breweries. An optional wine pairing per course will be available for $85 per person. Tax and gratuity are not included.
