Primavera Cooks Wine DinnerPrimavera Cooks Wine Dinner

Wednesday, June 12, 2013

This is quite possibly the most fun you will ever have at a charity fundraising dinner. Be among a lively group of socially conscious diners who support the programs and services of Primavera and have a great night out. Chef Ryan Clark will prepare and present a four or five course, wine-paired, gourmet dinner. Every year the event sells out. Early. So, by all means, don’t hesitate to purchase your tickets early. For all reservations contact Primavera Cooks! Coordinator at 308-3104 or cooks@primavera.org.
