About This Learning Event

Welcome the weekend under the stars with Tapas & Tunes at 1440, an immersive culinary learning experience offered on select Friday nights.

This dynamic evening begins with an introductory embodied movement class (such as qigong, tai chi or tapping - participation is required in order to dine), before migrating to Kitchen Table to begin your culinary adventure sampling a variety of sustainable food favorites from around the world. Talented members of the 1440 Culinary Team personally develop, prepare and serve each plate while offering guests knowledge about the source, inspiration and flavor profiles of their creation. Afterward, guests can settle in on the Kitchen Table Patio by the fire pit or indoors around the floor-to-ceiling fireplace to enjoy live acoustic music from popular Santa Cruz performers.

Tonight's Tapas Menu:

• Smoked Yellowtail Ceviche with Fresno Chiles, Avocado Crema, Red Onions & Lime
• Hand-Sliced Spanish Iberico Ham
• Vietnamese Sweet Potato Salad with Kale
• Chilean Empanadas with "A Pebre" Sauce
• Mini Mofongo with Extra-Virgin Olive Oil & Fresh Garden Herbs
• Grilled Rib Eye with House-Made Hickory BBQ Pickled Cucumbers & Green Chili Cornbread
