BBQ Catering: What better way to celebrate the summer with a Greek style BBQ, catered by Agora Catering, associated with Mamakas Taverna which has become known for its lamb, pork, chicken souvla and whole animal at some of Toronto’s biggest food festivals like Taste of Toronto and Oss Fest.
Wines: This is summer sillies casual event and we have summoned the wine God from Olympus. Dionysus is the god of the grape harvest, winemaking and wine, of ritual madness, fertility, theatre and religious ecstasy in ancient Greek religion and myth. Wine played an important role in Greek culture, and the cult of Dionysus was the main religious focus for its unrestrained consumption.
Dionysus, helped with the great selection of wines from our private cellar.
