The Alinea Group

The Alinea Group is the focus on this culinary group weekend.  Restaurants included are NEXT with its special World’s 50 Best menu, Roister and the Gallery menu at Alinea.  It should be a fantastic weekend of cuisine!

Cocktail Workshop

Our special excursion for the weekend is a cocktail workshop hosted by the Aviary.  During this workshop we will make various cocktails and even get to make our own infused porthole cocktail.  This is a very special treat and something that is only arranged for very special, private groups.

Interaction

Interaction with the chefs and staff at each restaurant is an important concept of a Rascal & Thorn tour.  Our guests get back-stage access to many of these great restaurants to see what makes them shine.
