Italian wine pairing dinner

Thriving in Tandem Wine Pairing Dinner

Date: Saturday, August 2nd, 6:00 pm

Location: Celestino’s Ristorante

RSVP below the menu

Who’s This For:
Married business owners who’ve been so busy building a company they’ve forgotten how to enjoy it. Or maybe you’re doing just fine—but let’s be honest, this sounds like a perfect excuse to get out of the house and reconnect with your favorite person over great food and wine (non-alcohol option available).

What’s Happening:
A delicious, authentic four-course Italian dinner—each course thoughtfully paired with a perfectly matched Italian wine. We’re talking serious flavor… no microwaved lasagna here.

We’ll even have a sommelier teach us some wine pairing basics to impress your friends and family at your next gathering.

Why You Should Come:
Between the meetings, client calls, volunteer work, errands, and (if you’ve got 'em) kids’ soccer games—your calendar has more ink than a tattoo parlor. Fun? Connection? Romance? Those are buried under that never-ending to-do list.

That’s why we’re hosting this dinner—to give you a guilt-free reason to slow down, put your phones away, enjoy a fantastic meal, and reconnect with your spouse. You’ll also meet some other high-achieving couples who get what it’s like to balance business and marriage.

And yes—we might slip in a few tips on how to create more margin in your life. Because a thriving business shouldn’t come at the cost of your marriage.

Let’s raise a glass to Thriving in Tandem.
