The Scenes at the Factory summer series closed last weekend with a three-day finale presented by The Creative Factory, in partnership with Caribbean Producers Jamaica (CPJ). The weekend highlighted food and wine, with Chef Jerron Green preparing the menus and CPJ’s Cellar Society showcased as part of the experience.
His Chef’s Table on August 29 brought together food lovers, wine enthusiasts, and industry professionals for an intimate evening focused on fresh, farm-to-table dishes. The following night, the Immersive Dining Experience combined theatre and dining, guiding guests from a farm in Clarendon to Coronation Market to CPJ’s wine cellars, before they sat down to a carefully planned menu where flavours, textures, and presentation were deliberately paired. Sundown Sips & Savour on August 31 closed the series with small plates matched to wines as the sun set, combining casual enjoyment with carefully composed dishes.
Green highlighted Jamaican ingredients in each event, using precise cooking methods to create dishes that were full of flavour and easy for guests to enjoy. “My approach was to merge the richness of Jamaican culture—its spices, stories, and traditions with global techniques. I wanted to make every bite feel like home, while transporting guests into something new, exciting, and elevated” Green revealed about his creative direction for the weekend. He went on, “Sharing a meal with someone is, to me, the most intimate thing, and seeing the expressions on their faces as they shared in this experience was just priceless.”
When asked which dish or menu highlight stood out most for the immersive dining experience and what inspired it, the chef said it was hard to choose from the eight courses,”But, if I should choose, it would definitely be between the Sea Bass and the Rack of Lamb. Both dishes, though polar opposites, represent the sophistication, attention to detail, and flavour that this hardworking team committed to bringing to the table for this experience.”
CELLAR SOCIETY
The finale also highlighted CPJ’s Cellar Society, which was prominently featured, showcasing its programme and offerings. The Society gives members access to rare vintages, curated tastings, immersive events, and wine education.
“With the Cellar Society, we are not simply curating a collection of wines and transporting them to you every month; we are creating a lifestyle. Our goal is to make luxury accessible, to inspire Jamaicans to explore wine culture with confidence, and to evolve our gastronomy industry into one that is inclusive, world-class, and truly reflective of our people,” said Shereika Myers, category manager for wines at CPJ.
Jason McNeish, CEO of The Creative Factory, added that “Scenes at the Factory has always been about what’s possible when creativity meets cuisine. Closing this series with the Cellar Society at the forefront was intentional because all summer we have been exploring and pairing food with the most premium wines and taking something aspirational and showing Jamaicans that it’s within their reach. Together, we are shaping a new future for how food, wine, and luxury experiences are consumed in Jamaica.”
