An experience your guests can imagine.
Past culinary selections have included an evening for eight curated by Wolfgang Puck, alongside travel experiences centered on food and wine. Ask us what’s available for your event.
Ask what the evening actually includes.
Confirm the number of guests, location, meal format, beverages, service charges, and scheduling process. For experiences associated with a chef, ask whether their personal participation is included.
Consider accessibility and dietary requirements early. Ask how requests are handled, without promising that every restriction can be accommodated.
Choose a social experience with purpose.
Group dining can appeal to friends who enjoy sharing an experience, while wine travel may suit a different audience. Discuss the likely bidder profile with OFG. Your final catalog should make the experience inviting and the conditions easy to find.
- Confirm group size and reservation arrangements.
- Clarify what is excluded from the package.
- Provide current redemption instructions to the winner.
Choose the experience around the company people keep.
Food and wine experiences can invite guests to imagine time with friends, family, or colleagues. Start with the shape of that occasion: a dinner for a pair, a shared table, a hosted tasting, or a trip with a culinary focus. The number of people and the setting often matter as much as the name attached to the experience.
A past OFG example was an evening for eight curated by Wolfgang Puck. That illustrates a group dining concept, not a current reservation or a promise of the chef’s personal attendance. Ask about today’s options and the exact role of any named chef, host, restaurant, or venue.
Make the invitation specific.
Before selecting a culinary lot, translate the attractive headline into a clear account of the evening.
| Detail | Question to answer |
|---|---|
| Guests and setting | How many people are included, where does it take place, and is the setting shared or private? |
| Food and beverages | What menu or service is included, and which beverages or pairings are part of the offer? |
| Host or chef | Is a named person attending, curating, providing the venue, or simply associated with the experience? |
| Scheduling | How are dates requested, what restrictions apply, and how far ahead must the winner book? |
| Additional charges | Are gratuities, taxes, transport, or optional additions included or paid separately? |
Consider the guests who will use it.
A desirable experience should also be usable. Resolve practical questions before promoting a package.
- Ask how dietary requirements and allergies are handled for this specific experience.
- Check age requirements and any restrictions related to alcoholic beverages.
- Confirm whether guests can be substituted or the experience transferred.
- Find out who coordinates the booking and how the winner should contact them.
- If a lot includes physical bottles, confirm the applicable collection or delivery arrangement.
Give the table a place in your collection.
A shared dining experience can provide a different point of interest from a destination trip or a large collectible. Consider whether likely bidders enjoy hosting and whether the experience is local or requires travel. A group package is not automatically easy to use if coordinating the date is difficult.
Describe the proposed experience in a way that helps guests picture it while keeping the conditions visible. Approved imagery, a clear guest count, and a concise explanation of the booking process can be more persuasive than a string of luxury adjectives. OFG can discuss current culinary options and how they fit alongside your donated collection.
