FEATURING
THE FOUNDERS
Hosted by Doug and Lydia McLaughlin, founders of NOBLEMAN Magazine and creators of NOBLE Wine & Dine, this experience is shaped by a shared standard of hospitality, design, and culinary excellence.
Built around a belief that the right room defines everything, the weekend brings together leading chefs, exceptional wines, and a carefully composed guest experience across three distinct days.
Every detail is considered. Every moment is intentional. The result is a culinary weekend defined by access, atmosphere, and execution at the highest level.
