Mountain Wine Festival at Killington, July 15 - 17th, 2005

Saturday we got involved with the Killington Wine Festival activities. The day started at 11 Am selling tickets to a noon time wine tasting and K1 ride to Killington Peak. During the evening we hosted the Franciscan Estate winery at the inn. Chef Patrick put on a 5 course wine dinner, with each course created to balance one of the great wines selected for the occasion. This was our fourth year hosting a wine dinner during the festival. Once again we were blessed with great attendance. Most of the diners for the evening were Killington locals who frequent our restaurant often. It made for a great night of food, wine and conversation. Of course, on Sunday it start's all over again. We are planning our next wine dinner for Saturday Evening, September 3rd (Labor day weekend). We should have a wines selected for that and a menu drafted by the beginning of August.
