Oysters & Cider Pairing @ Matchmaking Fest

Guided oyster & cider pairing class w/ Perlitas and Benny Boy - Sip 4 ciders, taste 8 oysters, learn the basics, and kick off Valentine's Day.

We’re teaming up with local oyster legends, Perlitas, to bring you a delicious, romantic, and FUN Valentine’s Day Oysters & Cider pairing class at Benny Boy! We day dream of this bright and briny combo often, and what better time of year to share its magic with all of you than v-day itself!

A $55 ticket gets you entry into this two hour pairing & tasting class, where we will sip and taste our way through a flight of four premium Perlitas oysters species expertly paired with four (5oz) tasters of Benny Boy fine cider (for a total of 8 oysters!). Lovers and singles alike, come on out and learn some chefy moves, enjoy some fine culinary delights, and get in the mood with everyone’s favorite aphrodisiac!

This event kicks off our epic Matchmaking Festival with The Next Fun Thing (LA’s largest and only Valentine’s Day event with 1000+ singles and couples), so be sure to stick around after the class for a full line up of lovely dovey activities like tarot readings, mingling with hotties, line dancing, speed dating, modern matchmaking, raunchy games, cupid photo opps, and a DJ dance party to close out the night!
