(New Orleans LA – March 1, 2018) – Located in the quiet side of the French Quarter, The Maison Dupuy is proud to present, for the third year, its monthly “Sippin In The Courtyard” series with a community awareness focus to benefit local organizations, feature New Orleans musicians and invite locals and hotel guests to experience the party atmosphere of the Maison Dupuy’s lush and large Courtyard. 

“We wanted to incorporate a charitable giving aspect to these events which have become popular with our guests yet also celebrate the music of the many talented New Orleans musicians and the food specialties of our Executive Chef, Matt Regan,” said Director of Sales & Marketing Craig Sanders.   “We also hope locals will come re-discover our gem of a hotel in this charming part of the French Quarter.”

For the kick-off event on March 28th, the popular group, “Alex Owen and The Messy Cookers” will be the featured musician providing entertainment during the early evening.  The beneficiary will be Second Harvest Food Bank.  Attendees will be able to purchase raffle tickets to win baskets of coveted prizes such as overnight stays, dinners, bar tabs, and other items provided by The Maison Dupuy.  All proceeds from raffle ticket sales will be donated to Second Harvest Food Bank. 

New for the March event is a Wine Tasting presented by Bouchaine Vineyards in Napa CA featuring their signature Pinot Noir and Bouchaine Chardonnay.  Specially priced bottles of the wines can be purchased during the event as well.

Each monthly event features Happy Hour prices for select wine and beer, a specialty cocktail and Small Plates at Happy Hour prices from Executive Chef Matt Regan.
