HARVEST DINNER SERIES
Experience the extraordinary Harvest Dinners at Black Star Farms Suttons Bay in the heart of Northern Michigan Wine Country. The creative farmstead cuisine for these special dinners is inspired by the best locally sourced ingredients, expertly paired with Black Star Farms wines. Seasonal vegetables, fruits and proteins are sourced from our area’s finest farms including our own.
In summer, dine atop our estate vineyard where the breezes and views are exquisite! Other dinners can be hosted in the Centennial Barn or the beautiful, vaulted Aquarius Room of the Inn. The evening begins at 6:00 PM with a welcoming reception featuring a specialty-themed craft cocktail. Dinner is served at elegant communal tables where conversations and striking up new friendships are encouraged. During service our chef will share the inspiration behind the evening’s menu and a winery representative will talk about the wine pairings and share updates on new releases and vintages.

Ronald Bishop
We were fortunate enough to experience a Harvest Dinner food and wine pairing event and all we can say was that it truly was a magical evening!!! It was our wedding anniversary and dinner was set in the vineyard! All around us the scenery was breathtaking, the food and wine were fantastic!!! Black Star Farms is a remarkable winery, you’re missing out if you’re in the area and don’t stop in!
