Chef Stefan Kauth, executive chef of The Roosevelt New Orleans, is visiting the kitchens of Bull & Bear to personally prepare an exclusive tasting menu Oct. 26 and 27.

The Waldorf Astoria Orlando's Aquamarine outdoor poolside bar and grill is featuring a capirihnas and mojito bar, cigar roller, flamenco dancers, tapas, and New World Spanish wines on Saturdays. Peacock Alley is hosting an Amedei of Tuscany chocolate and champagne tasting from Perrier-Jouët on Friday and Saturday nights.

At the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek, located less than one mile from EPCOT, La Luce by Donna Scala is unveiling a new tasting menu and wine pairing featuring chef Scala's newest recipes each weekend from Oct. 5 to Nov. 3. Scala will be on-site Oct. 12 to 13, to preside over the meal.
