Elevate Your Palate: An Evening of Fine Cider & Cuisine

RSVPs are essential for catering and close on May 19. Tickets available at: https://thethirdplace.is/event

Forget everything you think you know about cider.

While often misunderstood as simply sweet or casual, world-class cider is a sophisticated, structural peer to fine wine. With vibrant acidity to cut through richness, deep complexity to complement bold spices, and a fine mousse to contrast and cleanse the palate, it is the ultimate companion for the dinner table.

Join us for an exclusive evening with Thomas Henry, the visionary behind Mount Diablo Cider Company. A multi-gold and Best in Class medalist across the U.S. and Spain, and a two-time Good Food Award winner, Thomas is an elite authority on the “vinous” style of cider.

He will guide you through a curated journey, demonstrating how his internationally decorated ciders rival the finest dry wines in depth and elegance.

The Experience

• A Masterclass in Pairing: Discover the 3 C’s (Cut, Complement, Contrast) as Thomas leads a guided tasting of four premium ciders.
• The Menu: A multi-course dinner from Vanda, featuring vibrant Thai flavors (curry contains shrimp paste).
• The Setting: An intimate, master-led exploration of craft and flavor.
