About this Event
Join us on Saturday, October 24 at 4:00 PM for an unforgettable evening on the sand at Cowell Beach, where the Pacific, the sunset, exceptional food, and Santa Cruz Mountains wine come together around one table.
She Sets the Table is Dream Inn Santa Cruz's intimate, multi-course dinner celebrating the creativity, talent, and stories of women in culinary. For this special evening, three accomplished culinary women will come together to create a collaborative menu inspired by the season, the Central Coast, and their individual culinary perspectives:
Chef Michelle Gomez
Executive Chef, Dream Inn Santa Cruz
Chef Angela Sweetser
Queen of Hearts, Las Vegas
Luciana Costanza
Gran Gelato Caffè
The evening will also feature Ryan Beauregard, Winemaker at Beauregard Family Winery, pairing Santa Cruz Mountains wines in support of an evening celebrating women in culinary.
With deep roots in the Santa Cruz Mountains, Beauregard Family Winery brings a distinctly local sense of place to the experience, complementing each dish with wines selected to enhance the flavors and stories of the menu.
Guests will arrive at 4:00 PM for a welcome reception with wine and passed bites, followed by a seated multi-course dinner on Cowell Beach. Expect beautiful food, thoughtful wine pairings, meaningful conversation, and a front-row seat to a Monterey Bay sunset.
