However, we also offer the option to bring your own wine, understanding the personal significance some bottles may hold for our guests.

Pre-buying the beverage experience isn’t mandatory, but it helps us ensure that your preferred choices are available. Our wine and beverage program is carefully curated to complement the exclusive menus created by our guest chefs.

Can I bring my own bottle?

Yes, you may. The corkage fee is set due to requests from our members, and it allows us to offer a service that was not originally part of Ritual’s offerings. If you would like to bring wine from your personal collection, you may bring one 750mL bottle per two guests. The corkage fee is $150 per bottle, with a two bottle limit for any reservation.

Our non-alcoholic pairing includes a collection of mixed non-alcoholic cocktails and non-alcoholic wines. These are specially designed to match the food menu flavors in collaboration with each visiting team.

How does pricing work?

We pride ourselves on bringing unique culinary experiences to our guests through our exclusive Residency program, where renowned restaurants from around the world are invited to California to showcase their extraordinary talents. The pricing of tickets for each Residency reflects a variety of factors, including the intricacies of the tasting menu, the need for special equipment and ingredients that are often flown in specifically for the event, the size of the visiting culinary team, and their origin.

A ticket includes a full tasting menu designed specially for the occasion. Beverage pairing options are sold separately. Tickets are made available at a fixed cost, with no incidentals except tax (9.26%) and service charge (20%).

We open ticket sales 60 days prior to the start of a residency. Members, however, can request “early access” to future residencies.

Tickets are made available to non-members. However, some restrictions apply. For instance there are some dates that are reserved for members-only. For residencies more than 60 away, non-members can not buy tickets, and members can request early access. Remaining tickets (if any) may become available after we issue tickets to our members.

How does ticket availability work for members and non-members?

Members have unrestricted access to tickets. We open ticket sales 60 days prior to the start of a residency.

The membership fee and the price of the dinner are separate. The membership offers early access to ticket sales and other exclusive benefits, but it does not reduce the cost of the dinner.

What’s on the menu?

Each restaurant that comes to Ritual at Manresa bring their flagship tasting menu. Some Chefs decide to adapt some dishes with produce that can only be found in California, and bring their most special ingredients from abroad. Other chefs take their residency to create plates that will probably never be integrated into the tasting menu again. In any case, we always offer a tasting menu of about 9-12 steps.

Is there an available option for vegetarians?

Yes. This option is available only upon request. All resident chefs are able to serve a vegetarian version of the tasting menu. Please note: guests should request the vegetarian version with at least 72 hours in advance.

What is the policy for dietary restrictions and allergies?

Allergies and dietary restrictions should be included as a note during ticket checkout. It’s paramount that we gather this information from you early on, so that the chefs can prepare an alternative solution for any plate that needs to be changed. We are prepared to serve our guests according to their needs, however, we can not commit to providing full substitution of ingredients if we receive dietary notes less than 72 hours in advance. Given the rotating nature of our kitchen program, we can not accommodate for every single dietary restriction.

Is there a wine list to order a la carte?

At this moment we do not offer a list of individual bottles for guests to choose from.
