About the event
Henne Kirkeby Kro at Manresa
Henne Kirkeby Kro, the guest restaurant from Henne, Denmark, is the January 2026 residency at Manresa in Los Gatos. The residency is part of a culinary members club format built around guest restaurants taking over the Manresa kitchen for dinners, rare wines, and curated evenings.
The visiting restaurant is described with two Michelin stars and one Michelin Green Star. For this residency, Chef Alan Bates is named in the kitchen with Henne Kirkeby Kro, bringing the Danish restaurant into the Manresa program rather than presenting a standard single-night dinner.
Menu and beverage program
The food program is a multi-course tasting menu of 10–12 courses selected by Chef Alan Bates. No individual dishes are listed, so the useful planning detail is the menu structure: a chef-led tasting format tied to the Henne Kirkeby Kro residency.
The beverage program includes wine pairings, rare labels, special vintages, and non-alcoholic cocktail pairings. Those beverage options are part of the residency format, alongside the tasting menu and the broader curated-dinner structure.
