Join us for an unforgettable evening of culinary and w**e artistry September 16th and 17th! Each w**e dinner features a 5-course menu, with every dish paired to a specially selected w**e. Our W**e Ambassador will guide you through the style, story, and nuances of each w**e, while our Executive Chef shares the inspiration behind every course and the concept uniting the meal.

Our Chef's Table is The Alcove's most close-knit dining experience. Guests gather around a large U-shaped communal table facing the front of the room, sharing the evening course by course while our culinary team presents a five-course tasting menu alongside w**es hand-selected from Oregon's Willamette Valley.

With limited seats each evening, the Chef's Table is designed around atmosphere and detail — every course is served as crafted, every w**e is introduced and poured in sequence, and the night unfolds at the rhythm of the room. Tickets for these dinners historically move quickly, so early reservations are strongly encouraged.
