Pago + Communal Brands Wine Dinner
For the first time in more than a year, Pago owner Scott Evans invites guests to a wine dinner on Thursday, September 9th featuring special guest Melissa Saunders, Master of Wine and owner of Communal Brands. Says Evans, “Based out of NYC, Melissa brings sustainable wines into the US from Italy, New Zealand, France and more. Small production, high quality, sustainable wines are her focus. Naturally, that is why we love her book and look forward to hosting her at Pago!”
The Communal + Pago dinner will be held outdoors on Pago’s covered, open air patio and dinner guests will be required to show proof of COVID vaccination to attend. The cost for the 4-course dinner and 5 wine pairings is $65 (food) and $45 (wine).

2021 Feast of Five Senses
Normally, Slow Food Utah’s annual Feast of Five Senses is an in-person gala affair highlighting local chefs’ culinary skills, beverage pairings, and lots of conviviality and camaraderie. Well, it will be all of those things this year, except “in person.”
Slow Food Utah explains: “This year, Slow Food Utah brings you A Moveable Feast, a hybrid event supporting the health of the community and recognizing the constraints on our restaurant industry. However we may gather, we hope you will join this important celebration of the harvest and artistry brought forth from farm to plate. The title page to Ernest Hemingway’s last book, A Moveable Feast, bears this inscription: “If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.” We believe that once you have delighted your senses with the beautifully prepared bounty of the Utah harvest, the experience stays with you for a lifetime!”
For the 17th annual Feast of Five Senses – A Moveable Feast, “attendees” will celebrate at their own homes and gardens (along with some dine-in options) on Saturday night, August 28th. Guests will order their own personal feast from one of the participating restaurants and chefs (see below). Each meal is $100 and supports local farmers and restaurants as well as Slow Food’s micro-grant program.
