A Private Tasting Experience
A chef's tasting menu — told through cocktails.
Four or five curated courses, personal storytelling and refined presentation — created for private celebrations, date nights, client events and unforgettable evenings in Toronto & the GTA.
The Concept
Each course is designed to move the evening forward — from a bright welcome to a richer, more expressive finale.
Vlad prepares and presents every drink, sharing the inspiration, ingredients and technique behind it. Guests simply relax, taste and enjoy the progression together.
Choose a fully alcoholic, fully zero-proof or mixed experience. Zero-proof guests receive the same attention, complexity and presentation — never an afterthought.
