It’s an ideal time of year to eat locally in Eastern Massachusetts, and you can get plenty of this season’s bounty at an elegant Fall Harvest Dinner on Wednesday, October 9th at Town Meeting Bistro. Chef Alissa Tsukakoshi has the pick of the crop at Lexington’s Wilson Farm for October’s Farm to Vine dinner, and nothing but the best bottles from acclaimed Rhône wine producers Maison M. Chapoutier will do. Check out the menu below for the France-meets-New England matchups like Apple Salad with Wilson Farm Greens and Apple Cider Vinaigrette with Petite Ruche White, Marsanne, Crozes-Hermitage; and Tenderloin with Roasted Root Vegetables and Gremolata served with Bécasses, Syrah, Cote-Rotie.

Dinner starts at 6:00pm with passed bites of pan seared scallops, a welcome cocktail and a glass of Esteban Combe Pilate, Sparkling Viognier, so get yourself over to The Inn at Hastings Park in Lexington in time for the first toast. Tickets cost $288 per person, and you can snag them here. Check out more about Wilson Farm and their other offerings here, and give the Bistro a call if you have any Qs about dinner at 781.301.6655.
