Today is the first day to get your tickets to the Portuguese Wine Flights & Pastel de Nata {event}.

I went to Portugal just last year. In last week's Portugal - Fav 5 {Travel Guide} I told you about the Douro Valley, the gorgeous wine region of Portugal, and the best sweet bite Portugal has to offer: the pastel de nata. I learned about and fell in love with Portuguese wine and pasteis (the plural of pastel). This {event} will bring that experience directly to you, here in Seattle!

We'll try six different wines including Portugal's ​vihno verde, green wine, and port wines. There will be a little snack of olives. The last two wines are dessert wines and that's when we'll get into the pasteis de nata. This sweet treat is going to rock your world if you haven't had it. If you have, you'll be momentarily transported back to Portugal! 

It's finally time for another Figs and Flights {event}.

The Neapolitan Pizza {event} in April was so great that we're doing it again in August! My parents will be in town and it's now fig season so we're heading back to Tutta Bella for Part II. It's the same format and menu although this time we're doing an early (4 pm) dinner on a Sunday.

Tickets are on sale now through next Friday, August 2 at 10 pm. It's $38 per person and that includes your salad, pizza, and dessert, plus tax and gratuity. If you'd like some adult beverages, just start a tab with our server or at the bar.

Get your ticket now!

Figs and Flights’ second event, Irish Hospitality, was a blast! In short it was welcoming, relaxed, and fun.

Let's relive the night together.

The very first Figs and Flights {event} was a success! To sum it up in just a few words the event was fun, scary, and worth it.

My adrenaline was high all night and my nerves really kicked in just before I spoke to the entire room. Once that was done I was able to enjoy myself, a glass of wine, and the wonderful food and company.

Relive the night with me, whether you were around for the original event or not.

I am so excited to share Figs and Flights {events} with you, Seattle. 

I have a few goals for these events:

• Food: To share and celebrate great food
• Travel: To connect travelers with far away places via the destination's unique and local cuisine
• Community: To create a space for people who love food, travel, or both, within Seattle where we come together to MELT the Seattle freeze. We'll share conversation and food, enjoying each others' company, and make honest plans to do it all again!
