Crescendo & Cayenne: A Mardi Gras Epicurean Dinner & Blues Revival
Experience the soul of the South at Madison Beach Hotel’s Crescendo & Cayenne: A Mardi Gras Epicurean Dinner. This exclusive multi-course journey, directed by Executive Chef Christophe Santos, brings the heat and heart of Louisiana straight to your table. To complete the harmony, Sommelier Tanya Raisz has hand-selected wine pairings for every “note” of the meal, offering expert insight into why these pairings sing.
To set the stage, we’re welcoming legendary bluesman and storyteller Paul Gabriel. He’ll be weaving together a tapestry of soulful chords and storied history from his deep catalogue, providing the perfect soundtrack as we kick off our Blues Festival Weekend. From the first pour to the final chord, immerse yourself in an evening of vibrant flavors, world-class wine, and Delta rhythms. Space is limited for this curated culinary revival—reserve your seat and let the good times roll!
