On Friday, March 11, John Belisle of BelleWood Acres and Justin Hawkinson of Crave Catering will collaborate on the first of four in a Dynamic Distillery Dinner series. The Mad Hatter, Master of Ceremonies, will mark the seasonal change from winter to spring with poetry, story and song. Attendees will enjoy a 4-course meal paired with BelleWood superior spirits. While John and Justin delight you with their magic, guests will have the opportunity to talk with farmer Michael Dietering of Chubby Bunny Farm about sourcing local alternative meat and our area’s regional abundance of salad greens. Vartanyan Wine will also be in attendance with a variety of regional wines specially selected to complement the meal.
Spring: As the seasons change, we get together to toast new beginnings and look forward to the warmer months to come. Spring on the farm is our chance to showcase the first ingredients of the year. It is a chance to gather your family and friends and enjoy the sun after a long winter.
Taste: Start the night out with our succulent rabbit with a sweet honey glaze. Then to follow is a wonderful salad of bitter rockette, sweet pea shoots, BelleWood cider-infused figs and salty feta cheese, all tossed with a housemade honey shallot vinaigrette, topped with crunchy toasted pecans. For the main course, our chef is preparing steak and prawns with locally sourced potatoes, parsnips and lacinato kale raab. We suggest that you save room for dessert because we have an unforgettable and delectable molasses cake with ginger and brandy cream that you won’t want to miss.
Sip: All food will be paired with delicious libations featuring brandy, gins and vodkas distilled at BelleWood Acres. Vartanyan wines will be presented to complement the main course.
