Extra Virgin Tasting Menu

Alina Lawrence of Olivette and Joel Viehland of Community Table restaurant bring you 'Extra Virgin Tasting Menu' a night of eating, drinking and learning about authentic extra virgin olive oil, how to properly taste it and the myriad of ways to enjoy it with food.

Alina Lawrence is an olive oil educator and owner of Olivette, a boutique olive oil tasting room in Darien, CT. Alina received her training and certification in olive oil sensory analysis from the National Organization of Olive Oil Tasters (ONAOO) in Imperia, Italy. Alina consistently selects only the freshest and most awarded olive oils in the world for Olivette.

With a James Beard Nomination for Best New Restaurant on its opening four years ago — and most recently a nomination for Best Chef, New England for Chef Joel Viehland — Community Table has long been regarded as one of the top culinary destinations in the Northeast.

Chef Joel is proud to work with Alina and to share her extensive knowledge of olive oil with you. As Alina guides you through the complexities of each oil, Chef Joel will present a matching five course tasting menu, accompanied by wine, that will surely make for a memorable evening.

Please note, guests may be seated with other parties or at the community table.
