FALL is off to a great start at Historic Wade House

Last Saturday evening, we introduced a new program, our Harvest Moon Long Table Dinner, where guests dined outdoors surrounded by autumn colors. Here’s what we’ve heard from those who attended:

“Enjoyed a lovely dinner with friends. The setting was gorgeous, and the evening was perfect.”

“Food, drinks, socialization! Loved the apple cider reduction glaze and gelato!!”

“The night was perfect.”

Special thanks to Chef Tracey Leonhard of Rosemary Gourmet, Claire and Laura Roenitz and Susan Phelps for sharing their talents with Wade House for this event. We enjoyed showcasing local and regional food products from a variety of places including Park Ridge Organics, Springdale Farms, Wade House gardens, Restoration Orchards & Market, Baron’s Gelato, Paddock Club, and Sartori to name a few.
