Swallow Tail Culinary Adventures

Gifts for the food lovers in your life
Get them a culinary inspired gift that only happens once! I bet they've never been to an underground supper club or had a chef walk them through how to pair food with wine or gone out mushroom foraging with a wildcraft guide.  My suggestion for an easy gift that will bring them stories for years to come, a Swallow Tail culinary adventures gift certificate or one of our specific food lovers experiences listed below.  Gift certiciates can be any amount $50+, email us to get one!

That's my two cents, but I'm partial, merry Christmas! - Chef Robin
