The multi-course, gluten-free vegan meal includes a Napa cabbage wrap with brown basmati rice; a baby arugula and spinach salad with Mission figs, grape tomatoes, daikon sprouts, spiced pepita seeds and charred tomato vinaigrette; tempeh with stir-fried veggies, red curry sauce and white quinoa; and a mango-coconut chocolate mousse served in a fluted chocolate cup with green tea for dessert. Guest will also be served a pre-dinner drink.

Head to the Hotel Boulderado, 2115 13th Street in Boulder, at 6 p.m.; admission to the dinner is $75 per person (not including tax or tips), with a $99 option that includes a pound of Unseen Bean coffee and an Unseen Bean chocolate espresso bar.
