Step into your Culinary Era at Grovestone, where iconic Taylor Swift lyrics
meet bold flavors, cozy indulgence, and perfectly paired wines.
This chef-led tasting experience is playful, elevated, and a little dramatic,
in the best way, designed for Swifties who appreciate good food,
great wine, and a night that feels like a main-character moment.
Each course is inspired by a fan-favorite lyric or era, reimagined
through Grovestone’s olive oils, balsamics, and seasonal ingredients.
You’ll sip thoughtfully selected wines alongside five crave-worthy dishes,
while our chef shares flavor stories, pairing notes,
and tips you can recreate at home.
Perfect for girls night, date night or a cozy evening with friends,
this experience blends culinary artistry with warm Grovestone hospitality.
Just sit back, sip, and savor while we do all the work.
