Press on: Bavarian Inn plans Fall Harvest Wine Dinner

Sept. 30, 2014 - PRLog -- Fire-flecked fall colors and that light chill in the air sets the stage for one of the Bavarian Inn Restaurant’s (http://www.bavarianinn.com/) most popular events of the season – the annual “Fall Harvest Wine Dinner,” taking place Friday, Oct. 10, beginning at 6:30 p.m.

Guests will experience a five-course menu of seasonal dishes designed and prepared by Bavarian Inn Chef Phil Fahrenbruch, the 2012 Silver Plate Award Winner. Dishes will be accompanied by wines from award-winning winery Chateau Chantal (http://www.chateauchantal.com/), located on Northern Michigan’s Old Mission Peninsula.

The special menu begins with duck confit crostini paired with a Pinot Grigio and roasted butternut squash ravioli served with a Chardonnay. The salad course features an apple and curried chicken salad accompanied by a Pinot Blanc. The main course is a Tuscan marinated steak and mixed grilled vegetables served with a Malbec. And for dessert, Chef Fahrenbruch presents a rustic peach tart with vanilla bean ice cream, paired with Chateau Chantal’s Late Harvest Riesling.

And, to further enhance the experience, dinner guests will be joined by Mark Johnson from Chateau Chantal, who will provide expert commentary and insight on the evening’s wines.

The event is priced at $55 per person, which includes the five-course dinner, featured wines, tax, and gratuity. Reservations are required and can be made by calling 800-BAVARIA or 989.652.9941.
