Old World, New World invites just 24 guests into an immersive evening exploring how classic European varietals are interpreted through the terroir of Old Mission Peninsula. Combining comparative wine education, exclusive cellar access, and a multi-course pairing dinner by Executive Chef Keil Moshier, the experience offers one of the most intimate and distinctive culinary events on Old Mission Peninsula.
The evening begins with a guided walk through the vineyards and production spaces, where guests explore the influence of Lake Michigan, glacial soils, and the enduring traditions of Old World viticulture on our estate winemaking philosophy. Along the way, guests will enjoy a welcome pour in the barrel room and exclusive cellar tastings, offering a rare glimpse into wines in development and the decisions that shape texture, balance, structure, and ageability.
Following the tour, the evening transitions beneath the Inn to The Club Room, our private speakeasy reserved exclusively for this experience. Here, guests gather around a shared table for a multi-course plated pairing dinner created by Executive Chef Keil Moshier. Each dinner features a seasonally inspired menu thoughtfully paired with a curated selection of iconic European wines and estate-grown expressions from Old Mission Peninsula.
More than a traditional wine dinner, the evening is designed as a comparative tasting experience. Guests will explore how identical varietals express themselves across different continents, climates, and winemaking traditions through side-by-side pairings that reveal both the contrasts and connections between two winemaking worlds.
