Escape the winter chill and step into a warm, tropical celebration of Caribbean flavors!
Our Caribbean Island Party! Culinary Experience brings together bright island citrus,
aromatic spices, slow-cooked specialties, and sunny, feel-good dishes
that transport you straight to the islands and all paired with wines that
complement the sweet, smoky, tangy, and spicy notes of Caribbean cuisine.

During this chef-led culinary demonstration, you’ll watch each dish come
to life and learn how fresh, clean ingredients transform simple recipes into vibrant,
island-inspired creations. We’ll also share how our hand-crafted olive oils, balsamics,
and spices are made, and why great ingredients are the secret to unlocking bold, unforgettable flavors.

Raise your glass, share the laughter because the best way to celebrate is the Grovestone way:
with great food, great wine, and even greater company.
