The Henri will host a special evening event on Monday, November 14, to introduce and showcase the restaurant’s new private label “The Henri” in partnership with Woodford Reserve. Guests can experience one of the city’s most distinguished dining experiences and enjoy an evening of inventive cocktails and signature dishes by Chef Frederik De Pue. The proceeds from the evening will go to benefit No Kid Hungry, an organization that is close to De Pue’s heart.
“This unique event enables us to highlight The Henri’s unwavering commitment to feeding hungry children and ensuring they receive the meals they need, especially with the holidays approaching. No child should go hungry and it’s our duty to do our part,” shares De Pue.
The evening will kick-off at 6:00 p.m. in the restaurant’s bar and guests will be treated to a complimentary bourbon cocktail featuring the “The Henri” or Woodford Reserve Rye. Guests will also be treated to signature appetizers and entered into a raffle for a chance to win a trio of The Henri’s private label Woodford Reserve bottles. Tickets for this experience are $150 and can be purchased here.
A lifelong goal for De Pue, he traveled to Kentucky this summer where he visited the distillery and started the process of making the restaurant’s own label. He’s thrilled to bring the finished product to D.C. and is excited for guests to taste the final blend. The Henri is also proud to have an ambassador from Woodford Reserve attend the special evening.
