An Unforgettable Evening at Home: Private Wine Dinners with Vino di Marco & Yellow Table

Imagine this: you and your closest friends gathered around your own dining table, the glow of candlelight reflecting off polished glassware. In the kitchen, an accomplished chef quietly puts the finishing touches on a beautifully plated course while a sommelier prepares to pour a wine you’ve likely never tasted — and may never encounter again. The menu has been thoughtfully curated, the pairings expertly selected, and the only thing you need to do is relax, savor, and enjoy.

This is the experience created by sommelier Mark Condon of Vino di Marco in collaboration with Kelli Abrahamian of Yellow Table — a private dining offering that brings a world-class food and wine experience directly into homes across the Western Slope.

Designed for groups ranging from intimate gatherings of four to celebrations of up to twenty guests, these dinners typically unfold over two to three leisurely hours. Each evening is fully customized, beginning with a conversation about the host’s vision — whether that’s a refined multi-course dinner to impress important guests, a meaningful family reunion, a corporate retreat, or simply an unforgettable night with friends.

Kelli crafts a menu tailored to the occasion, drawing from a wide range of culinary traditions, while Mark selects wines that complement each course with precision and intention. Many of the bottles are sourced through specialty channels, making them difficult — or impossible — to find in local stores. Guests are not only treated to exceptional flavors but also to the stories behind the wines: the regions, the growers, the climate, and the traditions that shaped them.

“It is a pleasure to create unique dining experiences with Mark and his wine expertise,” says Kelli. “We love to work together to make sure everyone has a delicious time!”

For Mark, the evenings are about more than fine food and rare vintages. They are about connection.

“We are creating an experience unlike any other in our region,” he often reflects. Conversations deepen, laughter flows as freely as the wine, and acquaintances often leave as friends. In an age of busy schedules and digital distraction, the experience offers something increasingly rare: uninterrupted time together.

While inspired by upscale restaurant experiences found in larger cities, these dinners are intentionally grounded in the warmth and authenticity of Western Slope hospitality. Rather than traveling for a special night out, hosts can enjoy a restaurant-caliber evening without leaving home — no reservations, no driving, no cleanup.

The duo currently travels throughout the region, including Surface Creek, Delta, Montrose, and Paonia, with bookings typically scheduled six weeks to two months in advance. They also offer consultations — often over coffee or a small tasting — to design the perfect evening.

Whether celebrating a milestone, hosting out-of-town visitors, planning a micro-wedding, or simply elevating an ordinary weekend into something extraordinary, these private dinners offer a memorable alternative to traditional entertaining.

Because sometimes the most meaningful luxury isn’t extravagance — it’s being fully present with the people you care about, gathered around a table where every detail has been thoughtfully handled for you.
