I came across some info that is making me wish I live in or closer to Missouri. The Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel is holding an amazing event the weekend of October 16 and 17. With a little more notice, I would really be trying to be there. It's a weekend of wine tasting and fine foods. Friday's dinner menu will be taught throughout the day on Saturday and then Saturday's dinner is taught on Sunday. Both teachings are delivered by the Hilton's very own Chef Nathan Read. The entire weekend, including accommodations, tastings and meals is just under $400 per couple.
Branson, Missouri has a lot to offer in the surrounding area including golf, the RecPlex and Silver Dollar City, so if you're attending the Cooking School Weekend you may want to consider extending your stay to enjoy these other amenities.
The Weekend Cooking School has an incredible 2 day menu with such items as Smoked Rainbow Trout with capers, Brimstone Cheese Fondue served with grilled potatoes, baby carrots, zucchini, apples, pears and baguette, and Shrimp Fritters with Green Chile Salsa...and that's just PART of Friday's menu.
I'm so jealous of anyone attending and all I ask is that you have a glass of wine for me and give me a full report when you get back home!

I would love to go myself. So if anyone that does go cares to do a post. That would be great.
ReplyDeleteWell I've been to Branson, never to this venue, but sounds wonderful. Missouri has some wonderful wineries especially in the St. Louis area.
