This intimate five-course dinner pairs Mackinaw Trail’s standout wines with thoughtfully curated seasonal dishes:

️ Dry Riesling

Caramelized fennel + apple tart • white cheddar • crispy prosciutto • thyme • hot honey

️ Cabernet Franc

Smoky coffee-crusted salmon • cherry sauce • garlicky Swiss chard

️ Blaufränkisch

Vanilla butter–poached pork tenderloin • Brussels sprouts • dried cranberries • chives

️ Shiraz

Crispy mole negro beef tacos • Oaxacan cheese • pickled onion • radish • arroz rojo

️ Grüner Veltliner

Honeyed citrus + rosemary bread pudding • toasted pine nuts

Each course is guided, each pairing intentional, and the entire evening crafted to feel warm, welcoming, and memorable.
