Leading historians and culinary experts take you back in time to the lives and tastes of the world’s most interesting people. In this lively 2 and ½ hour program, you’ll enjoy talks by two experts, then join the speakers for a reception featuring historically accurate treats. Food provided at these events may include kosher and nonkosher items. 

Winston Churchill was one of the 20th Century’s most iconic figures, yet two aspects of his extraordinary story are often neglected: the last ten years of his political career, and the private world he created throughout his long life away from politics. Discover Churchill through the prism of these two overlooked realms and enjoy some of his favorite drinks and dishes.

Ticket & Reception from $58.
