About this Event

🇮🇹 An Evening in "Italy": Dinner, Stories & Soulful Travel at Sassafraz
(WOMEN ONLY)

with Anna Fishman of Olegana Travel & Special Guest Chef Melina

Friday, January 30 | 6:00 PM
Sassafraz Restaurant | 100 Cumberland Street, Yorkville, Canada

Close your eyes and imagine:
Beautiful food. Travel stories that spark goosebumps.
A table of women who just get it.


Now open your eyes… and join us at Sassafraz, one of Yorkville’s most iconic and elegant restaurants, for a truly special evening celebrating Italy, travel, food, and connection.

You are warmly invited to an intimate dinner hosted by Anna Fishman, founder of Olegana Travel Boutique and creator of the Olegana Travel community, with special guest Chef Melina from Italy. Together, they will share insider stories, culinary traditions, hidden Italy gems, and the magic behind meaningful, soulful travel experiences.


This is not a lecture.
This is not a networking event.
This is a beautifully curated evening of conversation, inspiration, and indulgence — the way Italy does it best.


We will be enjoying Sassafraz’s Winterlicious Prix Fixe Menu, a three-course dining experience designed especially for the season, in a warm, elegant setting.


✨ Only 15 seats available to keep the evening intimate, relaxed, and personal.
Once it’s full, it’s full.
