Festive Dinner 2020
Eat, Drink and Be Cozy as we sleigh hello to 2021!
Join us for our annual Festive Dinner celebration, in true 2020 fashion - virtually and in our coziest attire! You know what they say, there’s snow place like home. And frankly, we’re seeing a lot of the inside of our homes lately! Put on your coziest slippers, favourite fluffy sweater and join us by the fire for an evening of food, drink and festive fun.
Sit and sip as we enjoy Peller Estate’s wine tasting or your favourite beverage of choice before dinner. Joining us from the Shaw Centre is Executive Chef Patrick Turcot who will be performing a cook-along demonstration. View the recipe here. Grab your ingredients before the event and cook along with Chef Turcot.
Followed by some cozy networking and games where you will get the chance to catch up with friends – new and old! You don’t want to miss this opportunity to support the events industry and kickoff the holidays with the MPI Ottawa Chapter.
All 100 bottles donated by Peller Estates have been distributed. If you would like to purchase your own to participate in the tasting, you can do so here: https://www.peller.com/signature-series-ice-cuvee-classic-750-ml.html
