Friday, May 31st, Cheese Cave-to-Table Dinner 6:00pm
A cave to table dinner on Friday evening will kick off the Wine & Cheese Festival with small dishes that each feature a cheese from a Missouri creamery. Ingredients in the dishes will be curated from local farmers and businesses.
This year we are going to be enjoying the meal near the manor house, Steeple View Manor, starting with appetizers on the patio. Each dish will be accompanied with the romantic country views that the family who built the house in 1871 would have enjoyed. Pairing the historic stone farmhouse with this exclusive dinner experience, will transport the guests back to a time when skilled makers and the use of local ingredients were the cultural norm.
Here’s what Marcia Hamilton from Warsaw, MO who was our guest at last year’s Cave to Table Dinner had to say about this unique event…
“Attending the cave to table dinner at the Missouri Artisan cheese festival was the highlight of our spring. The dishes were a gastronomic and visual feast and a rare opportunity to sample some of the best wines and cheeses that Missouri has to offer. Dining under the pavilion at the lovely McKelvey Vineyards is a “don’t miss” event.”
This is a unique experience to learn about cheese, local creameries, and the pairing of wine and cheese as you eat! Tom Blatchford, who owns Cool Cow Cheese, will be giving you insight into the cheese highlighted on each plate and where it’s from. He will help you understand the fuller flavor profiles that can be found when pairing cheese and wine.
Come enjoy an intimate dinner setting where our number one goal is to celebrate local artisans while creating a beautiful memorable evening for you. We love to host here at McKelvey Vineyards and cannot wait to see you!
A ticket is needed for entry to the dinner.
