Culinary Bridge events are about food and wine, both elements bridging the world and people so effectively!

It was a great pleasure to have you all with us at the first Culinary Bridge event at the US Embassy in Helsinki! We believe everyone will remember having wonderful Grgich wines and super tasty food cooked by Chefs Pekka Terävä ja Chris Watson – and not only because of those but also because of the environment. You can’t have a real fine dine food at a construction site so often, can you ?

Below you will find a few pictures and more to come with videos too.

And we were so honored that the real Super Star, the War Hero Dog, Lucca K458 visited us just before the dinner! Her story is so amazing – go to her own Facebook site!

Plenty of stuff coming afterwards but if you want to know what’s happening today, Thursday Jan 24, you should follow us;
