From Facebook to face-to-face

Hello foodie friends ! It’s time. We’ve been in Facebook far too long! It’s time we get together for some great dining experiences. I’ve (Jen Burke) decided to host vine-to-table event in September. I’ve found a great location in the Lavaux (outside if the weather is good. In a historic building if it’s not great). However, we are working on the assumption that it’s going to be great weather and the dining experience will be outside with incredible views.

I’ve asked active foodie member and talented chef Tamsin of Bonapp74 to head up the menu planning and food preparation. (She’s accepted!) . A few foodie members have volunteered to help with the food prep (THANK YOU). Authur Duplan (the vigneron) will host us with an interpretive, historic tour of the tower and his vines.

Head chefs: Tamsin & Michelle from BonApp74
Food team: Dewi S., Dina M., Dejah M., Jen B.

Arthur Duplan, vigneron Tour de Marsens

About our vigneron host

As the grandson of a winegrower and a resident of the Lavaux region, Arthur Duplan grew up with the desire to make wine and to own his own label.

This is Arthur’s first year as the vigneron of the Domaine Tour de Marsens. 2020 is his inauguration release of wine from his first year (AND WHAT A YEAR THAT WAS!).

His Désaley Chasselas Grand Cru and his Gamaret come from the two hectares of vines around the historic Lavaux landmark Tour de Marsens.

We hope to make this evening a memorable experience for both our guests, and this young vigneron.

EVENT

What should I wear?

The dinner will take place at a winery. The terrain is uneven and cobbled. Please dress accordingly for the dates and remember to wear comfortable shoes. It could get chilly in the evening (even after a warm day) so please come prepared with a jacket or blankets to keep you comfortable. We anticipate a beautiful sunset and possibly a moonrise. We are encouraging guests to dress up a little (this is NOT a Zoom meeting :-), but jeans and casual attire are not out of place.

How do I get to the event (transportation & parking)?

Our location is between Chexbres & Epesses in the Lavaux. Here are the details on how to get to and from the event and where to park.

There is limited parking near the location and none onsite (details to come in the email preceding the event).

We strongly recommend arranging for a safe ride or taking public transportation. The two nearest train stations are Puidoux & Chexbres. It will be definitely a short hike from a train station, so, if time (and weather) permits you, I encourage you to take make the hike.

You will receive an email about two weeks prior to the event with directions to the event location, finalized event details, and helpful hints on what to wear and what to bring.

What can I bring, other than my fabulous self?

We are a community of foodies. We love discovering new flavours and local products. We’re asking you to bring a bottle of something to share. For example: A bottle of Swiss wine from your region (or other Swiss wine you would like to share).

The idea is that if you bring something, you will also bring something home.
