About James Beard-Inspired Cocktail Party

James Beard-Inspired Cocktail Party

Join us for a cocktail party inspired by titan of Pacific Northwest cuisine and frequent Gearhart visitor, James Beard. Enjoy an evening dedicated to all things delicious, with elegant appetizers paired with a variety of sample-sized cocktails mixed with our own handcrafted spirits. Join us and raise a glass to a true original, because, as Julia Child put it, "In the beginning, there was Beard."
