Renaissance - Induction Gala

About the Event

Step into a living painting and experience the most spectacular event of the year — our Annual Induction Gala, where fine dining, French artistry, and fellowship converge in one unforgettable evening.

Hosted at the exquisite Greate Bay Country Club in Somers Point, the night begins amidst nature’s own canvas: flowering gardens, a glistening lake, and a sweeping golf course that evokes the dreamlike beauty of a Monet landscape. As you sip from the top-shelf open bar (available all evening) during our alfresco cocktail hour, be transported by the romantic sounds of Violette, an extraordinary French singer from New York City whose voice feels lifted from the salons of Belle Époque Paris.

Her all-French repertoire will set the tone for a night inspired by the timeless elegance of Impressionist masters — think the luminous brushstrokes of Monet, the joyful gatherings of Renoir, the bold forms of Cézanne — each echoed in the evening’s sights, sounds, and flavors.

Following the cocktail hour, we move indoors for the official induction ceremony — the heart of our tradition — as we proudly welcome our newest members into the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs. It’s a moment of pageantry, honor, and joy.

Then, prepare to indulge in a culinary masterpiece: an exquisite multi-course dinner created by the chef as a tribute to French innovation and finesse. Every dish will be a brushstroke on your palate — thoughtfully plated, creatively imagined, and elevated to art.

SPECIAL GIFT for early registrants:

To honor the spirit of the evening, the first 15 ticket purchases (singles or couples) will receive a stunning French Impressionist art canvas — a beautiful, ready-to-hang piece inspired by the very artists who shaped this evening’s theme. There will also be exciting giveaways and elegant surprises throughout the night.

This is not just a gala. It is an immersive celebration of art, culture, tradition, and taste — a night where Renoir meets rosé, Monet meets martinis, and you become part of the masterpiece.

Hi, rather than donating $300 for wine, can I donate wine for one or two of the courses?
