4th course: Poached pear tart, roasted nut caramel, hazelnut gelato. This desert course will be paired with Freemark Abbey Viognier.
“What’s really exciting about this wine dinner is it’s not just Riverside District. All of the Kessler Collection Hotels in Savannah are having their head chefs contribute to this dinner,” said Keri Evans, Director of Food and Beverage at Plant Riverside District.
“We have like the hors d’oeuvres and the second course coming from our Chef De Cuisine, which is Jacob Hammer from Stone & Webster. And then we have our first course and our third and our fourth coming from our executive chef from the Bohemian and also from the Mansion on Forsyth Place. They’re working collaboratively to create this dinner that night.”
The wines will be brought out before each course with Michael Jackson explaining the pairing.
Reservations are required and can be booked through Open Table. Just select the “experience” under the 7 p.m. spot for October 21. Reservations start at $145.
