On Wednesday, September 9 2009 Hart House at Deer Lake offers a “California Experience” garden party that pairs world-class Californian wines with inspired west coast cuisine.  Guests can relax and enjoy live music as they dine al fresco, celebrating the bounty of our neighbours to the South.

California has achieved global recognition for the quality of its wines.  The state is geologically diverse and has a range of different climates and terroirs.  Winemakers are making the most of California’s natural advantages to produce premium wines of every major varietal.

The garden party begins with a casual wine tasting of some of California’s best, held in Hart House’s elegant gardens.  Guests may then purchase wines from the evening’s specially-selected list to pair with the dinner that follows.  The dinner menu draws from the Californian tradition of using the freshest local ingredients to create innovative cuisine that combines influences from various culinary traditions.  Live music and dancing, and a fabulous view of Deer Lake will enhance the pleasures of the table.
