Chef Kaitlyn’s Summer Chef’s Table Experience

JULY 21st, 2026  |  6:30PM

After the overwhelming excitement and feedback from our First Chef’s Experience this past Spring, Chef Kaitlyn has designed a menu to bring together a intimate group of culinary enthusiasts yet again to indulge in a Summer Chef’s Experience this July.

This seasonally-inspired  7-course dinner showcases Chef Kaitlyn’s refined approach to modern cuisine, with each course thoughtfully paired with a selection from The Good Earth Food & Wine Co., enhancing every flavour and creating a seamless journey from start to finish.

Chef Kaitlyn’s menu for this exclusive event was designed to celebrate summer and all of the incredible produce that comes with the season. Inspiration was drawn from the abundance of local ingredients available right now, as this time of year offers some of the freshest and most vibrant flavours to work with. Each course was created to showcase those ingredients in a way that feels fresh and seasonal, while still offering a little bit of indulgence along the way. From Niagara corn and heirloom tomatoes to summer berries and stone fruit, every dish is inspired by the flavours that make this time of year so special.

Seats are extremely limited. Reserve your place for an evening where exceptional cuisine, thoughtful wine pairings, and intimate hospitality come together in perfect harmony.
