Founder of TÉVORAE
TÉVORAE was created for women who love fine dining, dressing up, and beautifully curated experiences — and who value thoughtful conversation, trusted relationships, and experiences designed with care.
The Garden Affair is TÉVORAE’s inaugural gathering — a first chapter in a society built around the belief that the most trusted relationships begin at smaller tables.
