What does Bon Vivant Savant mean?

Loosely translated, it’s our philosophy of life, “Live well. Live Wisely.” A life of joy, of friendship, of new connections and grand adventures. We invite everyone to enjoy what we have to offer – eat, drink, laugh, discover and share with us!

DINNERS

What is the average age of people who attend your dinners?

We pride ourselves in the diversity of our membership from younger to older, couples AND singles and GLB. We welcome people of all ages and our guests range in age anywhere from their late twenties on up, though most members tend to fall in between 30s and 50s. Our members come together because of similar interests and a desire to connect.

How often do you schedule dinners?

We offer 1-2 dinners per week on a regular basis. As we grow, we will also hold monthly special events and dinners. You will also be able to contract our services for private parties and meetings, as we offer a high-standard of quality and service while maintaining a personal touch.

How will I know where and when your dinners are?
While we will always post the general details of our dinners on the website, to have access to dates and times, you must be subscribed to our newsletter. As our events are technically private, you must be a member of our newsletter distribution – but the advantage of subscribing is not only receiving details on events, but also offers and perks from our sponsors as well as special deals from time to time.

Why do people attend?

Food is what brings most of our members together. We offer both unique dining experiences with our Supper Speakeasys as well as opportunities to try new restaurants they likely wouldn’t have tried alone. Our events are ideal social settings for making new friends or networking while sharing laughter, joy and conversation.

What if I don’t know anyone? Is it OK to come alone?

Absolutely. In fact, most members come to events on their own. Our event directors are always there to greet everyone and make introductions for you – and really, you will find the majority of members to be quite friendly. If you would feel more comfortable attending with a friend, you are welcome to bring a guest along.

How many people attend your dinners?

Generally speaking, we limit our regular dining events to no more than 10 people. This creates a bit more intimacy for getting to know new friends while giving you time to catch up with those you’ve met along the way as well. Some larger events will bring in up to 40, but as intimacy and conversation our primary goals, we dedicate ourselves to keeping the numbers manageable and friendly.

GENERAL

Will my personal information (name, phone number, address, credit card number, etc.) ever be given out to anyone?

No. Never. Our discount partners and affiliates will post any special offers on our pages or through our own BVS newsletter. If you decide to join any of their mailing lists, it will be separate from BVS.

On a personal level, if you wish to contact someone after an event, but didn’t get their contact information, we will be happy to call them on your behalf. We’ve received requests like this before, many of which have resulted in friendships, dating, engagements and even marriage.

Is BVS a dating service?

Not at all. Our purpose is to offer a fun, relaxing and safe alternative to the average “bar scene” for people to meet and socialize as well as showcase the great restaurants and entertainment venues that our region has to offer. Of course, this doesn’t mean you won’t meet someone special, it’s just not our main goal.

Is there a dress code?

While there is no established dress code, the newsletter will suggest the appropriate dress for each event. Some functions are semi-casual while others require more formal attire. As a general rule, business casual is the safe option.

Can you accommodate dietary preferences?

For the Supper Speakeasy, we are often limited in our ability to accommodate specific dietary needs, however, we do offer special menus from time to time or will let our guests know when we are able to accommodate them – just ask. Usually, with advance notice, it’s no problem. We’ll go out of our way to make your dining experience as enjoyable as possible.

Is there pre-arranged seating at your dinners?

Yes. Nearly all our events have prearranged seating with your first name only on place cards at the table.

Can I make special requests?

Yes, we encourage members to give us feedback. If you see someone at another table you would like to sit with at a future event, tell us and we’ll try our best to have you at the same table. Or, you may have been seated with someone you do not wish to meet again, tell us and we’ll make sure you’re never at the same table.

Are alcoholic beverages served?

Yes, all of our events include adult beverages of some sort.

What if I don’t drink alcohol?

No worries. There will always be non-alcoholic beverages available. When possible, an upscale NA tasting for dinners  will be offered.

Do you have any incentives for members?

We will frequently offer special and packages through our newsletter, not just for dinners, but tour packages as well. On occasion, we will also have special offers from restaurants and retailers especially for you.

How do I make a reservation for an event?

You may either call the number listed on the page of the event you would like to attend or make a secure online payment through the localwineevents.com button which is also located on that page. If you choose to make the payment online, a fee will apply. There is no fee when calling our office directly.

What if an event is sold out?

Once we have reached the maximum number of reservations, we will create a waiting list and will contact you immediately if there are cancellations.

What happens if I’m unavoidably detained and arrive late?

In most cases, no problem. If you let us know in time we’ll tell the chef to hold your meal.

Can I receive my newsletter via snail mail?

Unfortunately, no. The newsletter is available only via e-mail.

Is there a code of conduct?

Yes. An individual’s participation will be terminated with repeated inappropriate behavior. If just a single occurrence – you will be asked to leave the function. We recognize that everyone may have an off night every now and again… but we owe it to our other guests to ensure their right to an enjoyable time.
