Baan Lao, The Cocochine, and Phantom Creek Estates are thrilled to announce the menus and wine pairings for their upcoming dinner series— a celebration of craft that demonstrates what is possible when diverse culinary traditions meet at the highest level.

This summer, these three singular forces in food and wine—each known for their precision, pedigree and pursuit of excellence—will come together for an exquisite, four-night dinner series. Hosted at both Baan Lao and Phantom Creek’s Okanagan Valley estate, the collaboration offers a rare showcase of distinctive cuisine and world-class terroir.

Two menus

Chef Nutcha Phanthoupheng will present two distinct menus for the collaboration: a selection of outstanding dishes from her current tasting menu for the Phantom Creek dinners on July 31 and August 1, and new dishes for the Baan Lao dinners on August 7 and 8. The Baan Lao menu revisits favourite ingredients and introduces new flavours, allowing returning guests to experience the dynamic evolution of Chef Nutcha’s remarkable Royal Thai cuisine. (Menu cards are provided below.)

Rare ingredients
Chef Larry Jayasekara will bring exceptional ingredients from The Cocochine in London, including his famed XXL jumbo scallops (140–160g each), hand-dived from the pristine waters surrounding Tanera Mòr island in Scotland’s Inner Hebrides. Paired with seaweed and roast chicken cream, this standout signature dish reflects his refined flavour-forward cuisine and commitment to sourcing from incredible producers.

Exclusive wines
Phantom Creek Estates has opened its private cellar for this collaboration, presenting rare wines that speak to the estate’s commitment to excellence. Among them is the 2020 Baoshan, the first release of its ultra-premium Halo tier. This Bordeaux-style blend, made from exceptional fruit harvested from the finest lots in the Kobau and Becker vineyards, opens with vibrant aromas of wild strawberries, red cherries, and cassis, unfolding into beautifully rounded flavours with crisp acidity and seamless tannins. Only two barrels of this inaugural vintage were produced and were bottled exclusively in magnums, making it one of the most exclusive wines Phantom Creek has ever released.

We invite you to discover the full menus below and join us for an evening that promises to be as rare as the wines and ingredients it will showcase.
