Pirouette is the signature fundraising event for Ballet Kelowna and the culinary experience of the season with five of the Okanagan’s top chefs preparing a wine-paired feast that celebrates the bounty of our valley.
Although the amazing dinner may be foremost in the ticket holders’ minds, this year Ballet Kelowna is adding even more to the evening. For the glittering reception, in addition to sampling award-winning wines of the Okanagan, there is a signature cocktail fittingly named “Pearouette”. Created by one of Canada’s foremost mixologists, Gerry Jobe of RauDZ Regional Table, the “Pearouette” will be served at the reception prior to the dinner. Like the chefs who are creating the memorable dinner featuring local ingredients, this cocktail uses the philosophy of “farm to glass”. New to the valley, Urban Distilleries has generously provided the Spirit Bear Gin, and along with Okanagan Spirits Blackberry Liqueur, Pear Nectar, & Lavender Essence the “Pearouette” is born.
The “Pearouette” cocktail will be available exclusively at RauDZ Regional Table, 1560 Water Street, Kelowna until February 5, 2011- the evening of the Pirouette event at the Delta Grand Okanagan.
“We are proud to support many local charitable events and organizations” says Audrey Surrao of RauDZ Regional Table, “and our ‘liquid chefs’ enjoy the creativity of creating specialty drinks like the Pearouette. We are also pleased to donate $ .50 from every Pearouette sold until February 5th to Ballet Kelowna.”
Ballet Kelowna’s “Pirouette” includes a sumptuous five course dinner featuring regional food and wine pairings, an ‘amouse-bouche’ ballet performance, silent and live auctions, a spectacular After Party and, or course, the Pearouette cocktail. Tickets are just $250 (with a generous tax receipt). For more information and to purchase tickets, contact Debbie MacMillan at 250.764.4803 or visit BalletKelowna.ca.
