In November 2009, during our Ode to the Olive celebration, we held our first evening dinner in the Common Room at the Wine Country Inn. The dinner was a huge success among guests, so this year we will host our second annual Olive Oil Dining Experience. The dinner will take place at Wine Country Inn on Friday, Nov 19, 2010. We serve this dinner "family style," meaning guests sit together at long "community" tables, and dishes are served in large platters. Want more? Just ask, and one of your new friends will pass the dish! Add a fire and candles, and it makes for a truly magical dining experience. The meal consists of four courses, each prepared in some way (including
dessert!) with an olive oil used during our Saturday Olive Oil Taste-Off. Each course will be paired with an Italian varietal wine produced by our friends at TBD.

Cost of this special dinner is $120 per couple, plus tax and gratuity. This includes the meal and all wine. Please note: we must unfortunately limit this to just 18 people (nine couples), and it will fill up, so if you are interested, please contact Wine Country Inn ASAP at 1-888-465-4608.
