2021 Artful Dining Series Concludes at Ruth’s Chris Steak House Nov. 11
By Zandra Wolfgram
Ready for a mental travel trip? French winemaker Jean-Charles Boisset says tasting wine is “freedom” — meaning each sip allows the taster the “mystical” ability to “travel places.”
Lucky for us, the next installment of the MKAF Artful Dining Series is right here in Destin at Ruth’s Chris Steak House on Thursday, Nov. 11 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The 9th Annual Wine Walkabout allows wine and food lovers to “meet and greet” guest winemakers and representatives from Tournesol, Thompson31-Fifty, Revana, Polaris and other notable California wineries.
Paired with that wine will be delicious culinary bites prepared by Chef Ruston Johnson and his culinary crew at Ruth’s Chris.
Event goers will enjoy live music by Michael J. Thomas and pianist Cam Ray, a wine pull wall featuring 100 wines, and silent auction of fabulous experiential packages including travel trips, wine dinners and spa visits and more.
Plus, for the first time this year, an all-vintner wine dinner will follow the Walkabout (for an additional cost). Diners also will have an opportunity to purchase wines at special rates with a portion of the proceeds benefiting MKAF.
This event is about raising funds and awareness for Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation. Staff members will be in attendance to talk about MKAF’s mission, and the many ways guests can support ArtsReach, the organization’s education outreach program. (One way is to become an MKAF member, which includes many benefits, including discounts on the cost of Artful Dining Series tickets.)
California awaits, are you ready to join us for this food and wine adventure?
Tickets are $65 for MKAF members, $75 for non-members. Tickets to the Walkabout and Dinner are $250 per person. To purchase tickets to the ArtFul Dining Series, visit the MKAF.org.
