Shelter House’s 6th Annual Palate & Palette Five-Course Wine Dinner and Live Painting

Tickets are now on sale for Shelter House’s 6th Annual Palate & Palette Dinner, to be held February 5 at Legendary Marine’s showroom in Destin. This year’s featured artist will be Nikki Cade, from Dallas, Texas. At the end of the evening, the painting will be auctioned off to the highest bidder in an exciting and competitive live auction. This year’s event is presented by presenting sponsors, Compass Builders and Emerald Coast Title Services.

This pop-up-style wine dinner is a unique experience, as Legendary Marine’s showroom is transformed into a chic, intimate venue with a trendy, metropolitan feel. Attendees will indulge in a five-course seated dinner featuring five of the area’s most respected chefs. Each chef will create a dish for their course, and Elite Worldwide Imports will be hand selecting fine wines to pair with each dish. Additionally, local distillery, Timber Creek, will be offering craft cocktails throughout the night and Destin Brewery will provide craft beers for guests to enjoy. B-Boy Productions’ live DJ will command the music of the event, floating high above the dining area aboard one of the newest bay cruising yachts. Guests can also say “cheese” in the Epic Photo Booth and explore the expansive silent auction offering prize packages including fishing trips, restaurant experiences, custom art, spa packages and more.
