Set sail on a culinary journey as we celebrate National Port Day with an evening dedicated to Portugal's iconic fortified wine. Founded in 1981 by Johnny Graham, Churchill's Port is one of the youngest independent Port houses, created with a commitment to producing elegant, balanced wines that emphasize freshness, purity of fruit, and exceptional vineyard character. While rooted in centuries of Douro Valley tradition, Churchill's has earned an international reputation for crafting Ports with remarkable finesse, relying on sustainably farmed vineyards, traditional foot treading in granite lagares, and minimal intervention in the cellar.

Join us as we explore four distinctive expressions from Churchill's portfolio, paired with a specially curated multi-course menu by Chef Chris Tatalovich, showcasing the diversity, tradition, and craftsmanship of Portugal's Douro Valley. Whether you're a longtime Port enthusiast or discovering it for the first time, this is a unique opportunity to explore the rich history, flavors, and traditions behind one of the wine world's greatest treasures.

  • Welcome Cocktail
  • Crab Stuffed Bone Marrow - Churchill's Dry White Port
  • Chicken Liver Pâté with toasted bread, cornichons, speck, and chive - Churchill's 10-Year Tawny Port
