An Evening of Elevated Flavors: Four-course global street food tapas menu, perfectly paired with curated wines, and complemented by vinyl-spun Latin beats.

An unforgettable cultural and culinary experience, "An Evening of Elevated Flavors: Street Gastronomy & Curated Wine Pairing," is set to take place on Saturday, December 14th, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the iconic Magnolia Art Exchange. This unique event promises a vibrant fusion of global street food, transformed into refined tapas, paired with a curated selection of fine wines.

The evening is designed to offer a sophisticated yet festive atmosphere, moving beyond a typical tasting into a meticulously crafted sensory journey. The chef-curated four-course tapas menu, provided by local culinary innovators Graze & Prosper and The Streatery Cart, will transform international street flavors into refined culinary bites.

Adding to the sophistication, Sandy’s Shack Imported Wine & Beer will provide The Sommelier’s Selection, guiding guests through five 3 oz pours of hand-selected wines, perfectly chosen to complement each course. Guests will also have the exclusive opportunity to enhance their private cellar with special, one-night-only bottle discounts on all featured vintages.

“We’re thrilled to bring this elevated concept to the community, proving street food treated with reverence and paired expertly with fine wine,” says [Steph Giera, Owner of Extra Dirty Creative]. “The combination of Magnolia Art Exchange’s beautiful space and the talent of our local partners promises a truly magical night that Ocala needs… and bonus, it's affordable.”

The ambiance will be set by the sultry and timeless sounds of Salsa and Latin jazz, spun entirely on vinyl by renowned vinyl record DJ, Pepito Von Dracula. Attendees are invited to mingle and dance the night away beneath a canopy of twinkling bistro lights.
