Knapp Winery & Vineyard Restaurant – Beef Barrel & Blues Fest – September 13, 2014

12:00 PM to 4:00 PM     Sat, Sep 13, 2014
Venue: Knapp Winery

Beef, Barrel and Blues is a fantastic combination for a great afternoon in Finger Lakes wine country. Build your own burger- an 8oz angus grilled burger and choose the cheese and gourmet trimmings yourself. Pair it with a sampling of our winemakers choice in a Knapp glass and you get to keep the glass too. All this in a rustic winery atmosphere with live blues music from the Blue Gills.

Farm to Table Part One
6:30 PM to 10:00 PM     Sat, Sep 20, 2014
Venue: Knapp Vineyard Restaurant

There is no better time to dine in the Finger Lakes. Someone said, we are the tree the Big Apple grows on. A plethora of fresh vegetables, meats and dairy are used during this incredibly fresh and bountiful time. Farm-to-table refers to a movement where food is produced locally and delivered to you, in some cases, the very same day. Our chef works with producers from across the street and around the region. Together with the freshness of the season and his very creative culinary skills plus the wine from this terroir, this is a wine dinner not to miss. Ever so popular, we have scheduled two dates. Sept 20 and Oct 18. This five course dinner will be paired beautifully with premium wines from Knapp Winery, Zugibe Vineyards and Glenora Wine Cellars. Please purchase your tickets on line to reserve your spot.
