Natalie’s Taste of Lebanon 

2825 Hathaway Road
Richmond, VA 23225

Members and Friends, we are pleased to invite you to Natalie’s Taste of Lebanon for our June wine dinner event. We will be treated to authentic Lebanese/Mediterranean fare pared exclusively with Lebanese wines!  And did you know that Lebanon is one of the oldest sites for wine production?! According to Wine Enthusiast, they have a 7,000 year wine history. Wikipedia and other articles focus on the 3000BC era when they started exporting wines to Egypt and other locales.  However you look at it, they’ve been at it a long time! So now it’s our time to take advantage of this unique opportunity to learn about and enjoy some Lebanese wines. We hope you will join us!

If you’re not familiar with Natalie’s, their mission is to share the cuisine and culture of Lebanon, while employing and advocating for those with disabilities, in an effort to promote inclusivity and uplift our community.  Click here to read more about their story and their restaurant.
