NEW ORLEANS – WYES SEASON OF GOOD TASTES returns for its 33rd year, bringing a series of wine pairing dinners to nine of New Orleans’ most iconic restaurants. Running from May through July 2026, this culinary event invites guests to explore a diverse range of cuisines, each thoughtfully paired with exceptional wines.
From Stuffed Creole Tomato and Sous Vide Lobster Tail with Truffle Oil to Cracker-Crusted Rabbit Tenderloin, Lamb Striploin with Mint Chimichurri, and Louisiana Crawfish and Sweet Pea Risotto, the WYES team says each menu showcases the creativity and flavor that define New Orleans dining at its finest.
Each dinner is uniquely crafted by the host chef, with every course designed to complement the wines served that evening. In past years, many of these highly anticipated dinners have sold out within hours.
Reservations open Tuesday, April 14, at 8 a.m. at wyes.org Dinner prices range from $135 to $200 and include tax and gratuity. All dinners begin at 6:30 p.m.
All wine pairing menus can be viewed at wyes.org/events.
