Market Day Menu
Local farmers’ markets are bursting with abundance right now. It seems like everything has shown up at once — the last of the berries, all the roots, the brassicas, the plums! It’s time for a celebration of all that good stuff before it disappears. And because there aren’t many warm days left, we know you probably don’t want to spend too much time in the kitchen — you can save those long cozy hours by the stove for the blustery days ahead. A good feast, equal parts shopping local, cooking simply, and eating with loved ones, is just about perfect right now.

Angels Gate Süssreserve
Delicate sweetness, grapefruit, honey and apple-pear flavours resonate with the dominant elements in this dish. Zesty acidity acts as a palate-refresher.
Chocolate Board
I can’t think of a better way to end a celebration. Instead of the usual cheese board and all its accompaniments, put out a chocolate board with fresh and dried fruit, nuts and complementary tipples. It’s seriously no fuss and maximum enjoyment.
Magnotta Vidal Icewine VQA
Lusciously sweet, with concentrated flavours of candied fruit, honey, spice and nuts, this icewine will elevate a chocolate board.

Complex caramel, creamy vanilla and spice notes work perfectly with the flavours in this unique dessert. Serve neat or in coffee.
