Golden Harvest: Chanterelles and Wines of the Loire Valley

      Few fungi command the culinary acclaim of the chanterelle. Celebrated for its exceptional flavor and aroma, this late-summer treasure is best enjoyed at the peak of its short season.
 
Join us on Wednesday, September 23 at 6:30 PM for an unforgettable evening at Bartolotta's Lake Park Bistro. Savor a four-course dinner built around wild chanterelle mushrooms, foraged at their seasonal best and prepared with classic French technique and creative touches. Each course is paired with a curated selection of six wines from the Loire Valley, showcasing the region's remarkable versatility — including a pour of Sancerre, one of our most sought-after bottles.
 
Arrive early at 6 PM for an optional pre-dinner reception, featuring six additional wine tastings and chef-prepared small bites on our outdoor portico — available as a $25 add-on.
