Ode to the Olive Dinner Menu Released!

We're excited to announce the following as our Olive Oil Dining Experience menu on Friday, Nov. 19, 2010. Again, this is part of the third annual Ode to the Olive celebration at Wine Country Inn. Cost for this dinner is only $120 per couple (plus tax and gratuity), and includes wine. Each course will incorporate, in some way, a Napa Valley olive oil, and each course also will be accompanied by a special wine from our friends at Benessere Vineyards.
