Epicurean Evening

A Culinary Event for Clean Wisconsin

Join us for an unforgettable night of fine food, local flavor, and environmental impact. Epicurean Evening is a premier dinner gala showcasing some of Madison’s top chefs as well as the inherent link between our environment and the food we eat. The event features a complementary cocktail hour with five custom cocktails to sample, a five-course meal, and live and silent auctions. All proceeds support Clean Wisconsin’s important mission of combatting climate change and pollution in our air, water, and land, and ensuring a healthy future for every Wisconsin community.

Epicurean Evening Updates

Five delicious dishes from Madison’s finest chefs. Five complimentary craft cocktails to try. And a whole lot of fun! Our 12th annual Epicurean Evening will feature food and drinks from some of Madison’s best restaurants, including:

Red: Just seconds from the Capitol, you’ll find one of the city’s most exciting dining experiences. It starts with a menu that spans continents and goes far beyond sushi. Every moment at RED intends to create a memorable experience and one you come back to again and again.

Johnny Delmonico’s Steakhouse: For ten years in a row, Johnny Delmonico’s Steakhouse has been voted among the Best Steakhouses in Madison, serving only the finest steak and premium hors d’oeuvres with a wine list to match.

The Deliciouser: What began in the fall of 2020 as a small batch, chef-curated spice blending business, evolved into the addition of a restaurant, bar and retail space in January of 2023. The Deliciouser is located within a former Greyhound Bus Depot at The Main Street Industries building in downtown Madison, Wisconsin.

Cadre: Founded in 2019 by Madison’s 2025 Chef of the Year, Cadre is a French-focused wine bar and bistro in Madison’s Regent neighborhood serving a seasonal and comforting menu that derives flavors from chef-owner Evan Dannells’ love of both Wisconsin’s bounty and French culinary techniques.

Stay tuned for details about the cocktails and dishes we’re looking forward to sharing with you this year!

A Night to Remember

Thanks to the generosity of our friends, partners and supporters, we raised over $150,000 at last year’s event — all of which helps support our work for clean air, clean water, and a healthier environment across Wisconsin. Epicurean Evening only comes once a year! If you missed last year’s event, take a scroll down memory lane with some highlights from the night.
