Crowne Plaza Hotel Ottawa (Wilhelm Wetscher)

LTBO member Executive Chef Wilhelm Wetscher and the Crowne Plaza invite you to celebrate the best of the harvest overlooking the spectacular colors of autumn in the Capital!

Join us in the Pinnacle Room to explore an evening of fine wine and food with winemaker Yorgos Papageorgiou from Niagara's Thirty Bench Winery and Chef Willi Wetscher of the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

This special five course Harvest Menu is paired with 3 whites, 2 reds and one dessert wine from Thirty Bench Winery, one of the leading boutique wineries in the Niagara Peninsula.

Thirty Bench Winery is renowned by wine enthusiasts for their dedication to the production of small scale, locally crafted wines of superior quality and varietal character. Yorgos concentrates in the production of premium Chardonnay and Red wines with a distinctly full and deep character, which are designed to age well over long time periods. The wines chosen for this evening will showcase the versatility, range and quality of Thirty Bench Wines.
