Celebrating Ontario Pinot Noir and Bubbles through perfect pairings!
For the very first time, ten top-tier wineries from Niagara (Tawse Winery, Bachelder Niagara, Stratus Vineyards, Niagara College Teaching Winery) and Prince Edward County (Stanners Vineyard, Rosehall Run, Grange Of Prince Edward, Closson Chase, Stoss Lee) will come together to share their pinot noir and sparkling wine portfolios at this all-encompassing experiential dining journey at Littlejohn Farm, a beloved agritourism destination.
Breathing life into these wines will be dishes designed by Chefs Zach Littlejohn (Littlejohn Farm, PEC), Ryan Crawford (Bar Bea/Ruffino’s, Niagara), Dave Sider (Tawse Winery, Niagara), Brent Mcallister (AquaTerra, Kingston), and Murteza Talu (Moishe’s Montreal). Each chef hails from establishments committed to wine and food pairing and they promise to take you on a journey that will deepen your appreciation of these legendary wines.
Expect to savour unmatched sparkling wines and ethereal pinot noirs paired with an elegant menu featuring caviar, oysters, raw seafood, beef tartare, shrimp cocktail, garden vegetable crudités, chicken, duck, and pastured lamb slow-roasted to perfection. The majority of the meat and vegetables will come from Littlejohn Farm, adding a true farm-to-table element to this dining experience.
Weaving these food and wine stories together is the event’s Master Of Ceremonies, James Chatto, winner of countless Canadian and American awards for food and travel writing, and nominated for the James Beard Foundation Award, the World Food Media Award, and once as the world’s best restaurant critic.
Whether you are a serious food and/or wine connoisseur, have doubts about the quality of Canadian wines (and are open to having your mind changed!) or would just like to enjoy a wonderful afternoon of exceptional food and wine in a superb setting, this is for you. Please note that if you are not an alcohol drinker, then interesting and thoughtful alternatives will be provided.
