Join Varanese for a very special bourbon dinner featuring the whiskeys and ryes of Heaven Hill Distillery paired with four of Chef John Varanese’s incredible dishes. Our special guest for the evening will be Bernie Lubbers, The Whiskey Professor, from Heaven Hill Distillery.
Heaven Hill stands in stark contrast to the ever-changing spirits industry, remaining fiercely independent, and guided by the steady hands of the Shapira family. Dedicated to long-term relationships with customers, Heaven Hill is defined by independence, quality, and integrity and is committed to producing the highest quality spirits.
