Napa Valley Chefs Dominic and Penelope Orsini will showcase their talents to the Flathead Valley July 3 at a special Napa Valley Summer Affair presented by the Flathead Valley Community College Foundation. The event will kick off the Foundation’s seventh annual Festival of Flavors benefit that raises money to support scholarships and programs at FVCC.
The event will feature an exquisite five-course meal prepared by the Orsinis with the help of students of The Culinary Institute of Montana (CIM) at FVCC and live music by blues guitarist and singer Kevin Van Dort. Each course will be paired with select Twomey and Silver Oak wines. To accentuate the elegance of the affair, the event will be held at the historic Eastside Kalispell home of Suzy Williams.
Dominic and Penelope work for Silver Oak Cellars where Dominic serves as winery chef and Penelope designs pastries and desserts for events.
Tickets to the affair are $175 per person or $1,500 for a table of 10 and can be purchased by calling 756-3632 or online at www.fvcc.edu/festival.
