Please join us at The Blackbird on Tuesday, October 28th for our Fall Harvest Dinner!
We will be celebrating the Changing of Seasons with a carefully curated 5 course pairing menu. The pairing menu features creative dishes designed to support local Appalachian farmers and producers by featuring seasonal offerings from the region. We will also have accompanying conversations from several of our local farmers and purveyors including the Mushroom Man, Rama Malinak and Sunburst Trout Farm. Each dish is paired with a wine from family owned, sustainably certified wineries from around the world.
