How it Works

Not your parents' wine fest.

8–12 stalls. Every dish is a one-night-only collaboration between DC's top restaurants, creators, and brands. Nothing on this menu exists before or after October 16th.

Chef × Chef

Restaurant Collabs

Two DC restaurants team up to create one dish you can't get anywhere else. Think Dukes Grocery × Gogi — a limited-edition menu item born from two kitchens.

🍸

Chef × Brand

Spirit Pairings

Every stall partners with a spirits brand for one exclusive drink or food-spirit fusion. Oyster bar × Clase Azul ceviche shot. Pizza × Aperol dessert flatbread.

📱

Creator × Scene

Creator Tables

DC's top food creators get early access at 5:30pm. They set the narrative before general admission even walks in. Your feed will know before you do.
