Wine dinner dining is, in my opinion, perfect dining. It’s the unique opportunity to taste a glorious stream of dishes that passionate chefs create specifically for that one evening – beautiful, memorable bites that aren’t seen on a restaurant’s daily menu.
Couple that once-in-a lifetime food experience with an array of the very best wines that a winery has to bottle, and you have the blueprint for culinary paradise. No need to make that for-the-rest-of-your-long-meal commitment to a single bottle and just one entree. Let those taste buds free!
The upcoming months bring several of these freedom fighter for the palate dinners. Below are a few not to be missed.
Wolfgang/s Restaurant and Wine Bistro and Executive Chef Wolfgang Green will host a Venge Vineyard Wine Dinner on Wednesday, May 18. Venge is a family-owned winery located in Napa Valley that has been producing award-winning wines for over a half-century. For more information, call (828) 526-3807 or visit wolfgangs.net.
On the Verandah goes for the double barrel with two evenings of meal perfection in June. On June 15, Mac McDonald, owner and wine maker of Vision Cellars in Sonoma, California, will bring his rich and elegant wine repertoire to Highlands. Expect award-winning Burgundy-Style Pinot Noirs as the grape highlight of the evening.
June 22 brings Steve Reynolds of Reynolds Family Winery to On the Verandah. This special evening will premier Steve’s newest venture – Italics. Italics is a greatly anticipated red blend that highlights the best of Napa Valley. The dinner will feature six courses prepared by Executive Chef Andrew Figel and paired with wine from both Reynolds Family Winery and Italics. For more information, call (828) 526-2338.
On June 14th, Old Edwards Inn and Spa will celebrate French Independence Day with a Laurent Perrier Champagne Dinner at The Farm at Old Edwards. Commonly known as Bastille Day, this French National holiday is celebrated in New York and New Orleans every year. And now, you too can celebrate La Fête Nationale Française during a fun and delicious evening with Laurent-Perrier Champagne, a French immersion dinner created by Executive Chef Chris Huerta and live Gypsy Jazz music by the popular One Leg Up.
