North Park: Bacon-Palooza 3-Course Wine Dinner With Chef Erin Sealy

Cost: 3-Course Wine Dinner $89 (Includes Tax & 20% Gratuity)

Please join us for our next 3-course wine dinner, featuring a long-ago favorite, BACON-PALOOZA!

Please join us for our next dinner at our North Park location! For our November 3-course dinner offering, we're very excited to announce the long-awaited return of an OG (Proprietor's Reserve days) crowd-favorite, Bacon-Palooza!! This bacon-inspired menu is possibly more fun that you are prepared to have! Planned at a perfect time when you no longer want to deal with your house guests nor cook and have given up on your diet, the day after Thanksgiving! Featured once in 2025 but before that, not since 2018 (hey, there have been a lot of changes in the years between then and now!), it was a true ah-ha moment when we realized just how overdue this event is! The wines will not disappoint, either. We have a fantastic line up planned, including selections from Paso and Santa Barbara. As a special treat, there's even an optional, bacon-infused dessert you can add, when you register. Don't miss this night of nostalgia as we walk (waddle!) down memory-lane with this annual event of days past. Who knows, maybe we'll bring it back as a regular occurrence! Chef Erin will present each wine along with a discussion on what makes each region unique and awesome. We'll also feature an all-new, summer-inspired, bacon-themed menu to pair with each wine. Expect a wonderful evening of wine, food and insights.

* Please note, this dinner will take place on the second floor, in event space. A flight of exterior, low-rise stairs is the only way to access this event area.

We're happy to announce the return of 3-course events; offering an incredible value at a time when we're all only hearing about increasing costs. Once a month I will offer an abbreviated, 3-course dinner/brunch at either HardiHood in North Park. This equates to a full meal (appetizer, two light entrees and complimentary dessert) along with 3 paired wines, still 3oz pours of each. It is the same great concept of wine pairing with discussions on both the wine and food. 

Each selection will be paired with its own wine inspired dinner course, prepared by Chef Erin Sealy. Chef Erin specializes in pairing food with wine, with a slightly different approach than most. Prior to creating a menu, each wine is tasted and reviewed and then she creates a food pairing, highlighting the nuances of each wine. This concept creates a dinner and pairing experience with layers of complexity and unique creations which exemplify the enjoyment of each wine. With a passion for food and wine, Chef Erin delights attendees with a detailed account of the pairing concept and cooking techniques that create each course. Expect a fabulous evening of wine, food and educational insights! Seating is limited. Please see below for additional dinner details and a registration link.
