Spring Event – Sunday, May 7th 2023 (4-8 pm)
Bavarian Inn Resort & Brewing Co. – Shepherdstown, WV
Join us for an Exciting Culinary Experience Celebrating West Virginia’s Spring Harvest!
About the Dinner
The Root to Table Culinary Series is excited to once again welcome guests to “Almost Heaven” West Virginia for the 2023 season! The Bavarian Inn Resort & Brewing Co. will host Root to Table diners for their 4th event this May. Help us celebrate the Spring Harvest in West Virginia as we highlight Chefs who have “Roots” in West Virginia by either having lived or cooked in the Wild & Wonderful state at some point in their career.
Make it a full weekend by booking an overnight stay on Sunday night at the Bavarian Inn.
About the Menu
This event will have some of the best dinning features that our guests love. Start the evening enjoying a mixology demonstration from Diane Batt of the Bavarian Inn where she will be preparing 2 of the Inn’s signature cocktails that guests will have the chance to pick from.
You’ll then move to the lawn overlooking the Potomac where our Top Chefs will be creating dishes inspired by the season. Stop by and chat with each of them at their Food Station and learn a little about their inspiration and passions of what’s on their plate.
Finally, guests will move indoors and enjoy a plated course from Executive Chef Jeff Ault and his special Guest Chefs.
Join our restaurant owners, chefs, farmers, and of course, our passionate food friends for an exciting event!
