Celebrate Mother’s Day early with an evening of beauty, balance, and connection — a one-hour immersion into the art of sake and Ikebana. Begin with a guided tasting led by sommelier Cody Gibson, exploring two distinct expressions of sake, before transitioning into a hands-on Ikebana workshop rooted in the Ohara school.
Led by a local Japanese ikebana master, guests will learn the principles of balance, form, and seasonality while creating their own arrangement to take home. All materials included. Whether you’re treating Mom or sharing the experience side by side, make this Mother’s Day truly memorable.
