Inn at Hastings Park Wine Dinners

I don’t know about you, but Steve and I absolutely love to attend wine dinners. The Inn at Hastings Park Wine Dinners are no exception. And there are some very special wine dinners coming up at the Inn at Hastings Park, in Lexington, Massachusetts that I would love to like to tell you about.

Inn at Hastings Park Wine Dinners

The Inn at Hastings Park is an historic Boston area hotel and they are hosting Summer-Season Culinary Celebrations. The Farm + Vine dinners are epicurean highlights of the year for the Boston area. Each dinner is hosted with one of the Inn’s neighboring farms and provides an opportunity for diners to celebrate the best of regional, seasonal cuisine.

The Inn at Hastings Park has created a culinary experience that is not offered anywhere else in the region,” said Trisha Pérez Kennealy, the owner of The Inn at Hastings Park.  “We work closely with local farms throughout the year, and these dinners are thoughtful celebrations of these partnerships.  These Farm + Vine dinners provide an opportunity for the farmers and our team at the Inn to collaborate in creating inspiring and memorable experiences for our guests,” she said.

Featured farms are modern and innovative, yet also serve as historic Lexington area community fixtures—Wilson Farms, Drumlin Farms, and Codman Community Farms. The July Farm + Vine dinner features Tufts University’s internationally respected nutrition initiative, the New Entry Sustainable Farming Project.  Each of the four farm dinners start with a welcome reception prior to a three-course prix fixe dinner menu, all paired with fine wines.

Unfortunately it is too late for the first two, but there is plenty of time to attend the last two. Plus the in has a fabulous Afternoon Tea every Saturday. And the Inn at Hastings Park just announce they will have a new Sunday Brunch Buffet! This will be a delicious Boston area brunch experience with plated main course options. Here is some tempting information so you know what to expect if you are lucky enough to be able to be in Lexington for either of the last two events.
