Wine makes every meal an occasion, every table more elegant, every day more civilized.
~ Andre Simon, "Commonsense of Wine"
The Celebration Of Tastes is an event no wine lover should miss!
Each weekend, our casual Friday Night Welcome Reception welcomes you with featured wines from the hosting winery. Cooking stations offer a generous selection of hors d'oeuvres carefully chosen to highlight the nuances of each wine. The winemaker himself is present to share his expertise and answer questions, and our culinary team gives more tips on pairing food with wine. Plus, you'll enjoy a fabulous silent auction. Bid on special vintages, stemware, wine tools, and apparel from the host winery and our own specialty boutique. All proceeds from the auction go to charity. It's an intimate and exciting event that sets the tone for the weekend.
Saturday brings a full day of culinary demonstrations, seminars, and tastings culminating in our main event: The Wine Lovers Reception and Dinner. This elegant evening starts with hors d'Oeuvres and a multi-course menu. The dishes are created by our Executive Chef and his team to pair perfectly with the finest wines of the weekend. Enjoy the magic created when food and wine bring out the best in one another!
Seating is "social" at round tables to create an intimate atmosphere. You'll enjoy comments from the winemaker as he addresses the room and each table throughout the evening. As a memento of your special night, you'll receive the recipes for the dinner. You can create your own wine lover's dinner for friends and loved ones at home.
Come raise a toast with us at the Celebration of Taste 2009!
