As we roll over into our second month of the year, we are all reminded of how quickly time passes. Most of us have that one friend who is already posting obnoxious countdowns till Christmas, and we are reminded daily that 1/12 of 2025 is already in the rearview mirror. Before we know it, February’s Celebrate Soulfully event for Black Heritage Month & the season of love around Valentine’s Day will also be over for another year, at which point we turn our attention, not so gracefully, towards the Food and Wine Festival at Disney California Adventure in the Disneyland Resort. As you can tell, I am already planning ahead for the season, delightfully contemplating the deliciousness that will no doubt be found. Even though I do find that most of the menu seems to have a slightly sweeter-then-ideal twist to it, I’m always able to find one or two standouts that are worth the wait.
While there are lots of bookable event experiences during the celebration (you can learn more about them with Jackie here) there is one particular new one that I wanted to explore in a little more detail with you. The new Dinner and Scotch Event at Hearthstone Lounge will be hosted on Thursday, March 13th, 2025 from 5:15 PM – to 8:00 PM. Read all the details below:
We are delighted to announce an intimate, special culinary and scotch dinner event. At Hearthstone Lounge, you’ll be seated amongst a beautiful array of artwork and situated in the craftsman-style lounge featuring a burnished copper hearthstone. Featuring fine, rare scotches from Highland Park from Isle of Mull & Orkney, Scotland as well as the venerable The Macallan from Speyside, Scotland curated from the whiskey library at Hearthstone Lounge. Your evening will begin with a tray passed hors d’oeuvre reception to the tune of live music. This main event seating is a 4-course tasting menu accompanied by expertly curated scotch pairings/tastings with educational presentations from Highland Park and Macallan representatives. Executive Chef Marcel St. Pierre, a scotch and whiskey aficionado, will expertly pair his dishes to accentuate the finest notes of the evening’s scotch tastings.
