Blue Ridge Culinary Experience with Taste of Blue Ridge & VA Dept of Tourism

Our group will depart from The Wishing Well parking lot on Sunday, October 11, 2020.  From this point, we will begin a great adventure in luxury, food, and fellowship.

From Tailgating to Tavern Tables enjoy a night of Agri Cultural culinary excellence presented by Taste of Blue Ridge  Root to Table Culinary Series under the grand Manor House walnut trees at Celebrations Farms.

We will begin our fall harvest salute in the Shenandoah Valley by bringing together seven top chefs. Each chef has selected a local farmer to introduce to our foodie community.  We will recognize our guest chefs and our VIP Chef Ambassadors attending the event and enjoy the demonstrations of their craft.

Due to physical distancing requirements, we have crafted several seating options for our guests to take advantage of for their peace of mind!
