One of our favorite things about the new year is that restaurants and other venues unveil their dinner series schedules, and Desert Botanical Garden is no exception. The Seasonal Table dinner series, kicking off Feb. 11, at the Desert Botanical Garden features a four-course dinner of fresh, locally sourced seasonal cuisine with wine pairings. Each dinner will be held in a special Garden location. Guests will enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and al fresco dining, alongside musical accompaniment. Each meal is created by a chef who will be on hand to discuss the menu.
Dinners are 6 to 9 p.m. Members price is $150, while general public is $160 per dinner. This event is 21 and over.
