Charleston Oyster Boat Tour & 1 Night Stay With Bourbon Distillery Tour From Red Clay Hot Sauce

A Red Clay Charleston Getaway: 1 Night Stay at The Dewberry + Oyster Boat Cruise with Seaborn + A Bourbon Distillery Tour & Tasting

Red Clay Hot Sauce was founded at the leading oyster bar in Charleston, South Carolina. Their cold-pressed, barrel-aged Original Hot Sauce was made to pair perfectly with oysters, one of the culinary life bloods of Low country cooking and eating in the South. Oysters are also a key part of Charleston's ecosystem as well, and no one understands this better than Seaborn.

For this reason, Red Clay Hot Sauce is partnering with Seaborn Oysters to share Charleston's landscape, waterfront and oysters.

The lucky winner of this package will meet Seaborn's Founder and oyster expert, Cyrus Buffum who will take you on a boat tour of the cultural and natural history of Breach Inlet, winding through tidal creeks and thousands of acres of marsh. He'll provide an indepth perspective on the oyster, its lifecycle and its benefit to our coastlines.

You'll even get out of the boat and onto their oyster beds (depending on guests' mobility) for guests to see the oyster beds up-close and to taste our oysters directly from the water. You'll also get a chance to taste the oysters paired with Red Clay Hot Sauce - a MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN!

You will also go to High Wire Distillery, an award-winning local bourbon company (and the original bourbon barrels in which Red Clay was first aged). While there, Chef Geoff Rhyne will lead the group in a Red Clay tasting of their entire hot sauce lineup.

He will tell the story of the founding of Red Clay, and share a bit about the making of the hot sauces and hot honeys. He'll also pair the sauces with some quintessentially southern light bites he makes - plus a few sips of quintessentially southern bourbon. It will be a fun, delicious afternoon!

The whole experience will culminate with an overnight stay at The Dewberry, an iconic hotel in Charleston.

Package Includes:

• 1 Night Stay for 2 Guests at The Dewberry in Charleston, South Carolina
• Oyster Boat Tour
• Distillery Tour & Tasting

*Not included: airfare, hotel incidentals, transportation to and from activities, meals outside of what is consumed during boat tour and distillery tour. Restrictions: Dates and times are subject to availability and oyster seasons (typically between the months of November - March).

2013 Argyle Knudsen Vineyard Blanc de Blancs 1.5L Magnum (Willamette Valley, Oregon)

The 2013 Knudsen Vineyard Blanc de Blancs magnum is from Argyle's beloved Julia Lee's Block planted in 1990 at Knudsen Vineyard. It captures the grace and grandeur of a great Blanc de Blancs.

Planted in 1990, at 850 feet of elevation, the Dijon clone Chardonnay planted in Julia Lee's Block furnishes this year's Blanc de Blancs with white peach, lemon zest, and hints of cocoa refined by layers of delicate creamy precision.

The late September picking and well below average crop yield has led to a sparkling wine of generous concentration, while still allowing the volcanic tension of the Dundee Hills to shine. Fermenting and aging in our oldest, neutral oak barrels expands its middle palate depth and builds upon its taut, savory length.

Package includes:

The 2016 sparkling wine vintage in the Willamette Valley was generous, showcasing the enticing allure and focused definition the region has to offer.

Blended between our two high elevation vineyards, 2016 Brut Rosé displays the delicate refinement of the Dundee Hills and the mineral tension of the Eola-Amity Hills. Bright, medium salmon-pink hue in color and perfume of rose petal, spring blossom and cardamom lead to an elegant, supple structure, and ginger-laced finish.

The Greppo vineyards have been in the family since 1800s.

In 2016 the fabled estate sold the majority of its shares to EPI, which also owns Charles Heidsieck, Piper-Heidsieck, JM Weston, Alain Figaret and Bonpoint. Jacopo Biondi-Santi and his son Tancredi remain actively involved,

Your 3 bottles of Biondi Santi Riserva 2015 are youthful and elegant. Brimming with wild strawberries, cherries, spices, cola, dark chocolate, orange zest, beach pebbles, balsamic, barbeque smoke, leather, cedar and just a touch of menthol; it's very much one of those bucket list wines to try.

2009 Argyle Extended Tirage Brut 1.5L Magnum (Willamette Valley, Oregon)

The 2009 Extended Tirage Brut is a very limited production magnum from an exceptional vintage, released for the first time ever. Aged for twelve years on the yeast and disgorged on demand to ensure freshness, it is an exceptional expression of Argyle's Tirage Library in Dundee, that has Sparkling wines still aging on the yeast, dating back to our first vintage in 1987.

Being one of the warmer growing seasons of the decade, the 2009 sparkling harvest was incredibly compressed, lasting just 6 days. This meant we had to be on point with our picking decisions in order to capture the pinnacle of ripe fruit flavor and bursting acidity.

Aged upon the lees for 10 years, Extended Tirage Brut is impressive for its balance of creamy layered texture with the vibrance of fresh disgorgement. Poached quince, crème de cassis, and roast hazelnut are layered with the mature brioche complexity, bringing harmony to its graceful, long finish.

This very limited production magnum is released for the second time ever. Only 60 magnums produced.

This rare cuvée is crafted with exceptionally rare cognacs from the private family cellar, exclusively from Grande Champagne, and bigaradia oranges finely macerated in cognac. Quintessence is made of Grand Marnier's oldest reserves: up to 70-year-old Hors d'Age cognacs, exclusively from Grande Champagne, coming from the family reserve and the Paradis.

Quintessence uses bigaradia oranges exclusively macerated in cognac and is double distilled, according to an old recipe from the brand's archive. The maceration in cognac elevates the bigaradia's flavor, doubling up its concentration, scent, and refined taste. The blend comes exclusively from 11 selected barrels, including 2 from 1947, and 3 damejeane from the Paradis, which we believe to be even older. Only about 1,000 bottles produced worldwide each year.

Tasting Notes
Color: Deep copper
Nose & palate: Fresh lemony facets and complex woody notes, flavors of cognac, orange, walnut, and dry apricot
Finish: Vibrant, lively, and spicy cinnamon and dark vanilla notes

Quantum Leap Winery

Winery Tour + Wine & Cheese Pairing for 8

Orlando, FL

Quantum Leap Winery in Orlando Florida offers a renewable take on serving the freshest wine from around the world. You and your guests are in for a treat as one of the winery owners will personally give you a guided tour of the winery and conduct the wine tasting!

Quantum Leap Winery is a local winery with a sustainable focus and global reach. Their vision is to continue to develop relationships with small producers in premier wine growing regions and be sustainably oriented in all decisions and actions. They are committed to bringing you quality, environmentally friendly wines at a great value.

Founded in 2012 by David Forrester and Jill Ramsier the innovative Quantum Leap business model is Equal to Jill and David's appreciation for wine -- a mutual concern and respect for the environment. A core value of their business plan is to find an environmentally friendly solution for transporting wine to markets and ultimately the consumer.

Their strategy is simple and defines the term Quantum Leap - reinvent the wine-to-market delivery process. Currently, all wine is finished, blended and packaged in the major grape growing regions around the world and then shipped in bottles to destinations where it will be purchased and consumed.

The Quantum Leap Winery model is to search for good quality, sustainably grown wine, wherever it is around the world but to transport it in large vessels to the Orlando winery. It is in this facility where wine will be stored, finished, blended and packaged. Jill and David know this process substantially reduces the carbon footprint associated with traditional wine production.

In addition, Quantum Leap's vision and evolution includes that beyond bottling wine locally, Quantum Leap wines will be packaged in low carbon footprint vessels such as kegs, pouches or boxes. These environmentally conscious practices offer consumers the unique pleasure of enjoying quality wine from a local winery while also respecting our environment.

Package includes:

• A personally guided tour by one of the owners, including the history of the winery
• A paired wine and cheese pairing for 8 people

*7 days advanced notice is required to reserve the winery tour and tasting.

Tilit Contra Chef Aprons

Designed with the chefs of Contra NYC, these lightweight waxed cotton aprons keep you cool and clean.

With 100% cotton adjustable apron neck straps and a handmade leather clasp on the shoulder that snaps on and off for washing, this modern, functional waxed cotton apron has welted front pockets that add a touch of style and protect against falling food scraps.

Package includes:

• 1 Contra Chef Apron in Charcoal
  

* Tilit signature wax cotton aprons can all be machine washed and dried in warm water and medium heat. To prevent straps from bundling, tie them together in a loose double loop before washing. Drying on low or hang drying can lengthen the longevity of your aprons. For light activity days, aprons can easily be worn 3-4 times before washing. These aprons have a special coating that allows them to be easily cleaned and hung for use within a couple hours. For a crisp apron, hang immediately once the dryer cycle has completed, then iron on medium temp on the inside only over a fabric covered board. Ironing directly on the wax coating can discolor the apron.

Dine Deliciously in Decatur and Atlanta

5-time James Beard Award semifinalist Meherwan Irani founded Chai Pani Restaurant in Asheville on the principle of celebrating fun, innovative Indian street food and snacks and sharing his heritage more broadly with the South. Since then, he has expanded the Chai Pani Restaurant Group to include NC-style barbecue, rotisserie chicken, fried chicken, and kabob house concepts.

From the time Chai Pani Decatur opened, it was a runaway hit and a reflection of the Asheville concept. But no longer. It has just been transformed, and is essentially a new restaurant, focusing specifically on the foods of India's Deccan Plateau, the region Meherwan Irani's Parsi family migrated to, where he grew up, and returns for inspiration. It is an incredible culinary journey.

Enjoy dinner for 4 at Chai Pani Decatur in a vibrant and delicious setting. And we've added gift cards to Botiwalla, a counter service concept inspired by the tea and kabab houses, and Nani's, an ode to the comfort of good chicken and tasty sides.
