On May 20, Marc Mondavi, co-proprietor of Charles Krug Estate, spoke to patrons on the patio of Hyatt Lodge’s Water’s Edge Restaurant in Oakbrook, Ill. The well-attended event marked the reopening for events at the hotel, a growing trend in the on-premise industry as the world slowly reopens to re-establishment of its usual leisure and entertainment in the food and beverage space.
The event featured a five-course dinner of dishes curated by Executive Chef Joshua Karther, paired with five wines from the Charles Krug lineup. Tickets were $89-$109 a person plus tax, available via the hotel’s website or on OpenTable.
