The Daily Inter Lake | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 11 years, 6 months AGO
Napa Valley chefs Dominic and Penelope Orsini will showcase their talents July 3 at a special Napa Valley Summer Affair presented by the Flathead Valley Community College Foundation.
The event will kick off the foundation’s seventh annual Festival of Flavors benefit that raises money to support scholarships and programs at FVCC.
The dinner will be held at the historic Eastside Kalispell home of Suzy Williams and feature a five-course meal prepared by the Orsinis with the help of students of the Culinary Institute of Montana at FVCC.
Live music will be provided by blues guitarist and singer Kevin Van Dort.
Each course will be paired with select Twomey and Silver Oak wines.
“We are excited to provide our students this tremendous opportunity to learn from two world-class chefs,” the Institute’s executive chef Howard Karp said.
Tickets to the affair are $175 per person or $1,500 for a table of 10 and can be purchased by calling 756-3632 or online at www.fvcc.edu/festival.
The Orsinis work for Silver Oak Cellars where Dominic serves as winery chef and Penelope designs pastries and desserts for events. Both chefs have a passion for earth-to-table cuisine, using only all natural ingredients at their peak of the season quality. The chefs will support local and Montana farmers and ranchers by using locally-grown produce and Montana-raised meats for this special affair.
