Once again, the Manor House Restaurant at Chetola is partnering with Childress Vineyards to bring you an outstanding six course Winemaker Dinner prepared by Executive Chef Michael Barbato and his outstanding culinary team.  Carefully selected Childress wines will compliment each course.  Mark Frizolowski, the Winemaker at Childress Vineyards, will join us to discuss vintages and give insight into the making of each wine. 

The Grand Wine Tasting takes place on Saturday, April 17 in Downtown Blowing Rock.
