Two Chefs. too Delicious.
Written By: A.J. Stewart | Issue: 2018/09 - September
For more than 37 years, On the Verandah has been providing exceptional service and dining in Highlands. Their dinner menu features an inspired fusion of American, Asian, and European cuisine, and their Sunday brunch is a local favorite.
One of their most popular services is their wine dinners. On the Verandah has been hosting wine dinners since they opened in 1981. The dinners serve to highlight wines from vineyards around the world, pairing them with exquisite foods for a truly unique experience.
On Saturday, September 29, they will be hosting their Venge Wine Dinner, featuring wines from Venge Vineyards in California. Rooted in a passion for winemaking, the Venge family has been making fine spirits since the early 1900’s. Venge Vineyards was founded in 1976 with the purchase of a vineyard in Napa Valley. Today, their vines are tended by hand; the fruit is picked in the early dawn. Everything is done with as little machinery as possible. Jason Williams, General Manager of Venge Vineyards, will be there as a special guest. Inspired by the passion and dedication of the Venge family, Jason “resolved to be a partner in the winery’s success.” The dinner will also feature wines from Croix Estate.
The dinner will consist of six courses by co-chefs Andrew Figel and Jerri Fifer. Each course is paired with a different wine, accentuating the unique blend of flavors. A Brut Rosé from Iron Horse Vineyards will be served for the reception. The dinner will be accompanied by a Chardonnay and a Pinot Noir from Croix Estate, as well as a Zinfandel and two Cabernet Sauvignons from Venge Vineyards. Should you find one of the featured wines to be truly exceptional, each of them will be available for one night only for purchase at a discount. Attendees will also be eligible to pre-order the exclusively allocated and highly sought after 2016 Bone Ash Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon.
Dinner is $135 per guest and will include a reception with hors d’oeurves. There will also be a raffle prize and a contest prize. Call (828) 526-2338 to make a reservation.
