About the event
Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the depth and versatility of Caffè Amaro, where thoughtful cuisine meets expertly crafted cocktails in our exclusive Barrel Room.
This intimate dining experience features a five-course tasting menu by Chef Tristan Wagner, paired with bespoke cocktails from Beverage Director Derek Branham, each designed to showcase the complexity of amaro alongside seasonal ingredients.
Surrounded by aging whiskey barrels, guests will enjoy courses ranging from Chicken Frisée and Seared Sea Bass to Braised Lamb Shank, finishing with a decadent lemon curd cheesecake. Each dish is matched with a Caffè Amaro–forward cocktail—layered with botanicals, citrus, spice, and smoke—to create a seamless progression of flavor throughout the evening.
Equal parts indulgent and immersive, this one-night-only experience is a celebration of craft, collaboration, and the magic that happens when food and cocktails are designed together—best enjoyed in the heart of the distillery.
