Yes, Beechwood Inn is taking you to Italy via Babbo's in New York City. Mario Batali believes that olive oil is as precious as gold, that shorts and orange crocs are acceptable attire for every season, and food, like most things, is best when left to its own simple beauty. In addition, the wines served this evening will be made by Mario's partner Joe Bastianich.
The Beechwood Inn is Georgia's premier wine country inn and offers luxury lodging in a rustic mountain setting. The Inn is nestled among 100 year-old terraced gardens overlooking Black Rock Mountain. It is a place where all elements add up to a culinary and wine-oriented journey. The Inn also features Northeast Georgia's only Wine Spectator Award of Excellence restaurant. The restaurant offers Saturday Prixe Fixe dining by advance reservation featuring fresh California and Mediterranean-style meals using the best of local, organic and sustainable products from Georgia farms, vineyards and orchards.
Most of their seasonal foods are from local and sustainable farms, orchards and gardens - and much of it is organic and natural. Most of their dinner entree meats are natural (organic, no hormones, no antibiotics, no feed lots).
Dinner and wines is $98 per person, plus tax and gratuity. Luxury lodging $189 - $209, plus tax.
