Held annually in the fall or winter prior to the late spring beginning of wedding season, our client tasting event allows our clients to sample an array of delicious menu items. You will have the opportunity to sample from a large spread of food including appetizers, main meal selections, beverages and late night provided by our in-house catering partner, The Yard of Ale Restaurant. A cash bar will be available throughout the night.
Seats are reserved for our clients/couples with contracts in place. Tickets can be purchased for a limited number of additional guests if you would like to bring family or friends to the event. Space is limited and additional tickets are purchased on a first come, first serve basis, for $45. Please email us to check availability for additional tickets.
If you are a client and cannot attend the event, or would prefer to do a tasting at the restaurant featuring your specific menu choices in place of attending the event, a reservation for a complimentary tasting for two at The Yard of Ale Restaurant can be made directly with Kate at The Hillcrest Estate.
Confirmation you are attending the event is due 10 days prior.
