With Savor & Swirl, cozy up to chef-driven pop-up feasts, unexpected venues, and the simple joy of gathering around a great meal.
aby, it’s cold outside and the winter doldrums are setting in with a mix of brrrr and ho-hum.
Wouldn’t it be great to savor a pop-up feast at a secret location where you can swirl fine wines in the glass and make new friends? That’s the brainchild of husband-and-wife team Kyle and Hannah Williams, who started Savor & Swirl in 2019. Kyle is a chef who has honed his culinary skills at Michelin-starred Relais & Châteaux restaurants in Hawaii and the Amalfi Coast, working under super-star chefs Todd English and Daniel Boulud, and wowing party guests of Rihanna and Alicia Keys, among others. Hannah is all about creating five-star ambience, from table settings to printed menus, music, candlelight, and linens.
The pair grew up in Kansas City, traveled and worked in amazing places, but wanted to come home when they were expecting their second child. “On a flight back from Napa, we wrote out what we wanted this business to be on a cocktail napkin,” Hannah recalls.
“We are big believers in the magic that happens when people are gathered around the table to enjoy wonderful food and wine,” she says. “You can relax, kick back, and enjoy the evening, let the worries of everyday life dissipate.”
Just imagine a long table set in a rustic lodge or a barn. A roaring fire. A fine Burgundy in your glass. And the aromas of a multi-course Hunter’s Dinner or perhaps a soul-warming hand-rolled pasta with duck confit, pâté en croûte, boeuf bourguignon, and winter greens.
“Whatever the setting, we want our pop-up guests to feel welcome and to leave with a memory of a wonderful time—and perhaps new friends,” Hannah says.
Savor & Swirl offers these pop-up events throughout the year, featuring seasonal foods and great wines in settings that make it all even more special. They also do custom private and corporate events, whether at your home or another venue. Soon, they will be offering special food and wine travel experiences to Napa and Tuscany.
