OUR STORY

It’s time to shake up how we think about nights out on the town with friends and colleagues.

Instead of consistently having to endure busy noisy restaurants, ANI brings your night out with friends to you. The experience is comprised of a guided wine tasting (by a private Wine Presenter) specifically paired to your chosen menu followed by a four course meal prepared for the group by your very own private Chef. ANI enables you to host an effortless and flawless dinner party that you can enjoy while someone else does all the work!

One Friday night, my friend invited me out to happy hour. Of course I wanted to go, but getting there after work would be a hassle at best and a nightmare at worst. If you’re not familiar with Washington DC rush hour traffic, consider yourself lucky! After going back and forth about logistics for a simple happy hour, we decided to plan on another night.

A night out with friends should be fun, but it has become more of a headache for most in a large city. Whether it was drinks after work or planning a dinner party, getting everyone in the same place is a struggle. That’s when I got the big idea! How cool would it be if my friends came over, we cooked a meal together, drank wine, and had the same quality time we were seeking by trying to go out? Heck, it would be even better if a private chef cooked for us and brought the wine! All we would have to do is show up.

That’s when a night out became A Night In!
