They say a way to someone’s heart is through their stomach. Well, Lincoln Motor Company invited me to get behind the wheel to be one of the first to experience the all-new 2013 Lincoln MKZ and MKX with their upcoming “Off The Menu” event August 19 and 20 from 11:00 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. It’s a series of unique experiences for people to see their home city from the driver’s perspective, and of course, doing it in style.

Pete, My husband, is a huge car geek, so by association I’m getting into them too! And when I received the invite to the “Off The Menu Tour” where they pair a virtual test drive in a luxury car with two things — wine and food — that I reeeeeally love? Now, that’s just a match made in heaven!

The VIP test drive tour will include a complementary full course dinner with a wine pairing, created by some of the most award-winning chefs and restaurant, Via Vite. I can’t wait! I’ll be sure to update you on how the event went after I go on Monday!

By RSVPing to the event you can receive $20 off your bill at Via Vite and be sure to tweet the hashtags #OffTheMenu, #LinkcolnMKZ and #LincolnMKX!
