Distinctive Wine & Food from Around the World
Join us in 2023 as we tour the world of wine via a series of distinctive dinners and wine pairings.
For our first wine dinner of the fall season, we will be traveling to South Africa. You will be guided by Chef Jacob Ennis who will prepare a five-course dinner reflective of South African cuisine with a Vermont flair, and Sommelier Tunney King who will be pouring a selection of varietals from South Africa.

First: Chakalaka Salad (Tomato, Onions, and Spices) with El Bandito “I Wish I Was a Ninja” from Testalongo
