These one-of-a-kind events connect diners with the hardworking men and women who harvest Monterey Bay seafood and the chefs who discerningly source and prepare their local catch. Members of our fishing community share their experiences on the water, and attendees learn about the benefits of sustainably harvested seafood while enjoying thoughtfully prepared dishes at restaurants, wineries, and other venues throughout Monterey and Santa Cruz counties.

A portion of ticket sales for each dinner goes to the MBFT Community Seafood Program. We purchase seafood from local fishermen and suppliers, which is donated to food relief groups in our area. Current partners include the Food Bank of Monterey County, Meals on Wheels of the Monterey Peninsula, Second Harvest Food Bank, Big Sur Big Share, Pajaro Valley Loaves and Fishes, and Al and Friends. Together, we are supporting the local fishing economy and feeding our community!

We invite you to join us in the cellar at Madson Wines from 6:00–8:30pm for a seafood-inspired meal by Chef Diego Felix, paired with a selection of our wines. It will be an evening of great food, meaningful conversation, and a chance to celebrate the work and resilience of our coastal community.

Tickets are $120 per person, plus a 15% gratuity to support our staff.
