DINING & NIGHTLIFE

THE PERFECT PAIRS
LAGUNA BEACH RESTAURANTS TEMPT PALATES WITH
LIMITED-EDITION MENUS THAT PAIR FOOD AND WINE.

n Laguna Beach, a small yet formidable group of restaurants is leading the
charge when it comes to highlighting wine's pairing powers with a slate of
special menus dedicated to exploring the relationship between the two. With
each installment of their carefully curated tasting menus-most available for a
limited time only-local restaurants continue to surprise and delight patrons'
palates. You won't want to miss the next food-and-wine pairing dinners at
these Laguna culinary kingpins.

Splashes
A robust wine program is one of
the centerpieces of Splashes at
Surf & Sand Resort, and guests can
thank Ante Dapic, a sommelier and
the director of food and beverage,
for ensuring that the restaurant's
vast, rotating collection-of more
than 300 bottles at any given
time-remains just as impressive
as ever. Dapic, along with Executive
Chef Ron Fougeray, debuted a
series of twice-weekly chef's tasting menus complete with optional
wine pairings, customizing the

three-course tasting menus,
which are available Tuesdays
and Wednesdays between 5 and
10 p.m. (Note: Reservations are
recommended.) (888-281-3502;

The upscale environment at Studio
at Montage Laguna Beach makes
it the perfect place to enjoy a nice
meal or a relaxing glass of wine-or
both at the same time. The 2019
Wine & Spirits Series at the resort's

signature restaurant offers a selection of fine wines or scotches during each event paired with dishes
of the chef's choosing. Running
through November, guests can
enjoy varietals from brands like
Hundred Acre, Aperture Cellars,
Daou Vineyards and Winery, as
well as Riverain Vineyards, owned
by a local Newport Beach resident.
On Father's Day, a special dinner
will be paired with The Dalmore
spirits in lieu of wines. These oneof-a-kind culinary experiences will
delight the palate while showcasing
the eatery's cuisine. (949-7156420; montagehotels.com)

the result of collaboration between
Santana and Broadway's expert
