The Ponti Wine Pairing Dinner on February 5, 2027, offers a chance to hear about the pairings as well as taste them. The Denver Art Museum restaurant’s quarterly dinner begins with a toast and mingling before guests sit down to four courses.
The restaurant plans to explain each course and its accompanying wine after serving them. It is a structured meal rather than a walk-around tasting, with time set aside at the beginning for guests to mingle.
The dishes and wines for this edition have not been announced. If dietary restrictions or allergies will affect your decision to attend, ask The Ponti about accommodations when making a reservation.

The Ponti’s usual approach gives a little context without revealing the evening’s menu. The restaurant emphasizes produce and ingredients such as ancient grains and heirloom legumes, while also serving handmade pasta, fish and meat. It describes its cooking as locally sourced and inspired.
Jennifer Jasinski is The Ponti’s consulting chef. Her Denver career includes opening Rioja, and she received the James Beard Foundation’s Best Chef Southwest award in 2013. The dinner announcement calls for a chef’s welcome toast but does not identify the chef or confirm Jasinski’s participation.
