DePaul's Flavors of France Wine Dinner France has long been regarded as the birthplace of modern gastronomy, where centuries of culinary tradition and winemaking have shaped the way the world dines. Join us for an elegant evening celebrating this rich heritage through a thoughtfully curated seven-course wine dinner. Presented by Hudson Austin, Ben Barilotti, and Chef Jose Galicia, each course pays homage to classic French cuisine while showcasing exceptional wines from France's most celebrated regions—Champagne, the Loire Valley, Burgundy, Bordeaux, the Rhône Valley, and Saint-Émilion.
From the refined elegance of Champagne to the bold reds of Bordeaux and the Rhône, each pairing tells the story of a region, its people, and its traditions. Combined with meticulously crafted dishes inspired by timeless French techniques, this evening offers more than dinner—it is a journey through the history, culture, and artistry that have made French food and wine the benchmark of fine dining for generations.
