About this Event
A Taste of Sustainability is a downtown Birmingham progressive dinner fundraiser for Alabama’s oldest conservation nonprofit, the Alabama Environmental Council (AEC). We're excited to offer a walkable dinner experience showcasing four of AEC’s EAT (Earth Aware Team) restaurant partners while promoting sustainable dining and environmental stewardship! Guests will enjoy four unique courses across four distinctive venues for a ticket price of $100 ($52 of each ticket is a donation to our nonprofit!). Guests can go at their own pace during the allotted timeframes for each restaurant, noted below.*
You will need to show your Eventbrite ticket(s) on your phone (or if you print it out) to each restaurant as they have specific menu items that are included in your ticket price - see below.
