The first Finger Lakes Wine Country Restaurant Week is in development for a June debut.
As more wineries add dining services, the idea seems to be one to build on each year to complement standalone restaurants that dot the region.
As the organizers say, "The
idea is both simple and ground breaking. With the rich, agricultural
lands of the Finger Lakes as the backdrop. local chefs Lakes are challenged to create three-course prix fixe menus using only 100%
Finger Lakes ingredients. We think our Restaurant Week is the only
promotion of its kind in the country that requires 100% local food and
wine sourcing."
The prices will be $39 per person, plus tax, gratuity and
beverages. Each restaurant will offer three-course Finger Lakes wine flights as well, at $15 per person.
Seven venues are planning to participate in the June 18-24 promotion. They and their chefs:
• Crystal Lake Cafe at Americana Vineyards
Lindsay Freeman
• Red Newt Bistro at Red Newt Cellars Winery
Brud Holland
• Stone Cat Cafe
Scott Signori
• Suzanne Restaurant
Suzanne Stack
• Tony R's Steak & Seafood
Jeff Swartz
• Veraisons at The Inn at Glenora Wine Cellars
Orlando Rodriquez
• Vineyard Restaurant at Knapp Vineyards
John McNabb
