The Best Wine Dinners Happening in Salt Lake City This Month
As we near the end of October, Salt Lake City is serving up a delightful array of wine dinners that showcase the culinary talents of local chefs and innovative pairings. These events not only highlight the fabulous flavors of fall produce but also give wine enthusiasts the opportunity to deepen their appreciation for fine vintages and food pairings. Here’s a look at some of the standout events this month.
A Five-Course Delight at Asher Adams
Join Asher Adams on October 23rd for a five-course wine dinner featuring the exquisite offerings from Obsidian Ridge winery. Priced at $150, the evening will include dishes like King crab & autumn melon mosaic, paired with a refreshing Estate Chardonnay from the Santa Cruz Mountains. Other tantalizing courses include butter-poached halibut and Iberico pork, each thoughtfully paired with equally impressive wines such as the Lytton Estate Petite Sirah and East Bench Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley.
Sliders and Bubbles at Sugar House Station
For a more casual but equally delightful option, head to Sugar House Station on the same evening. Here, for $125 or just $25 for sliders and $100 for champagne, guests are invited to enjoy gourmet sliders from various food vendors. Each slider will be paired with bubbly wines led by wine importer Christine Mercnik. Expect mouth-watering combinations like fried chicken paired with a luxury Grand Cru Champagne and a chili cheese slider paired with delightful rosé!
Harvest Season Flavors at Emigration Cafe
The following week, Emigration Cafe will celebrate the harvest on October 26th. Featuring a menu crafted from seasonal ingredients sourced from local Parker Farms, guests can enjoy a Spicy Pumpkin Soup paired with Alsace wine. This evening will cost $75, or guests can dine for $45 without the wine. The highlight is the fall rotolo, a house-made pasta dish filled with butternut squash, perfectly melding the flavors of autumn.
Annual Pumpkin Tasting at Pago
Finally, don’t miss Pago, which is bringing back its popular pumpkin tasting menu from October 31st – November 1st. Building on the charm of the harvest, the sixteenth installment offers dishes highlighting the versatility of pumpkin, paired with distinct orange wines. For just $75 (or $45 without wine), you can savor signature dishes like pumpkin cheesecake and enjoy unique pairings that truly enhance the fall dining experience.
These events not only celebrate local gastronomy but also foster connections among community members who relish good food and wine. Whether you are a longtime connoisseur or just looking to enjoy an evening out, these wine dinners promise memorable experiences as we toast to the flavors of autumn.
