NEW! Dare to Pair - Dine with the Don Event with Westben and Elmhirst's Resort
How often do you get a Theatre-opera--dining-wine tasting-meet the cast, chef and Sommelier Experience?
I dare you to join us for the new Dare to Pair Experience at Westben and Elmhirst's Resort called Dine with the Don. Experience a Mozart opera in concert at The Barn, delicious gourmet food at Elmhirst's Resort and skillfully chosen wines from Huff Estates, all on Saturday, July 7. After seeing Don Giovanni at The Barn at Westben, head over to Elmhirst's Resort near Keene (25 minutes west from Westben), meet and dine with the cast of Don Giovanni, hear Chef Jay Nutt talk about his carefully chosen menu starting with a Prelude, Aria, Interlude, Finale and Curtain Call, a blend of Italian and Austrian dishes continuing the operatic adventure. Meet Sommelier Brian Hanna from Huff Estates and learn why he has paired each of his delicious wines with this scrumptious menu. I'll be there - will you?
