Dine in style with exclusive dining events this summer

If ever there was a time to seize the moment, it’s during summer, when the days are long, the road beckons and weekends are best spent discovering something new. This season, Visa Infinite and Visa Infinite Privilege cardholders are invited to dine under the stars, sip on Ontario’s finest wines, and enjoy the perks of membership through the Visa Infinite Dining Series. With three exclusive dinners taking place throughout the summer, cardholders will want to keep their weekender bags at the ready all season long.

Hosted at some of the country’s most notable restaurants, and helmed by its top chefs, events in the Visa Infinite Dining Series invite ticket holders into Canada's culinary core. The series whisks members on a decadent summer journey from the Niagara wine region, to Prince Edward County and into Toronto's North York for a taste of Ontario’s bounty, on their plate and in their glass.

To begin, cardholders will want to head east to Closson Chase Vineyards in Hillier, Ontario. With celebrated chefs Suzanne Barr and Charlotte Langley headlining an all-star line-up of chefs and producers at a Wine Country long-table dinner on August 13, this event promises to be a highlight of the season. Alongside, chefs Jamie Kennedy and Stuart Cameron, Zach and Luhana LittleJohn (of agritourism destination Littlejohn Farm), and more, will be on hand to create a collaborative feast made from fresh PEC ingredients. Naturally, each course will be paired with locally-made wines by Closson Chase winemaker, Keith Tyers. Guests will also receive a signed copy of chef Barr’s new book, My Ackee Tree, to take home.

At Stratus Vineyards, cardholders can toast to an evening of elegance at the winery’s striking, LEED-certified space. A winery committed to quality, sustainability, and design, Stratus is home to winemaker J-L Groux’s distinctive, expressive wines. For this event on August 27th, chefs Rafael Covarrubias, of Oakville’s Hexagon, and Darren MacLean, of Calgary’s Shokunin, have partnered to create an east-meets-west menu that emphasizes culture, tradition and exceptional skill. Book your experience here.

Finally, toast to a brilliant summer season during the autumnal equinox on September 22nd. A soulful celebration of the Mediterranean's finest flavours will transport guests from Babel, in North York, to Greece, Turkey, Israel, Morocco and Lebanon. A collaboration between Babel chef de cuisine Rosalin Keshishian, O&B district chef Andrew Piccinin and Israeli chef Tomer Markowitz, the dinner promises fragrant, spiced shared plates and generous mains, guaranteed to delight the senses.
