Summer Tastings Under The Stars With Farmstead!

Three words for you: roof deck tastings. That should be enough to spark some interest. We are kicking off a very exciting summer series next month, on the roof of the Peerless Building, in Downcity, Providence for all of you foodies and fans of great grub, adult suds and grown up juice.

Our ‘Summer Tastings Under The Stars’ will be an opportunity to nosh on some lovely bites – cheese and otherwise – paired with the perfect boutique beverages of our choosing…oh yeah, and you get to do it on the coolest, most stunning roofdeck anywhere in the city, as the sun sets and the stars come out. Sounds like a dream, right? Yeah, it kind of is.

Our Summer Tastings Under The Stars class listings are below. Either mix and match, signing up for one or two, or sign up for the whole series at a discount. Looking for a great birthday or Father’s Day present? I think this will have you covered. Our Summer Tastings Under The Stars are sure to be a casual evening of delicious fun and enchanting education. Each class is designed to work within the series, or all on its own, so don’t be afraid to attend only one, or all four.

Attire is casual and comfortable, parking is on street but shouldn’t be troublesome, and we really hope to see you Downcity for a completely unique experience in our Summer Tastings Under The Stars. Call us for more information, or to make a reservation for one of the events. Can’t wait to see you there!

Sunday, June 13th: ‘Goats & Grüner’- Our Favorite Goats & Our Favorite White Wine
Designed to be a fascinating and fun evening of discovering the best the world of goat cheese has to offer, we will select 7 goat cheeses from around the world- all of varying style and design, and pair them with the finest Austrian Grüner Veltliners we can find- the wine we feel can really tie them all together. This is a flavor combination meant for summertime. Come and savor some goat & Grüner! $50 per person, 6pm-8pm at Peerless Building, reservations only. Please call 401-274-7177 and make a reservation with Katie.

Sunday, July 25th: ‘Sweet & Savory’- Dessert Wines With Cheese’

Nothing can demonstrate this as well as perfectly paired artisan cheese and dessert wine. Whether its a 10 year old Port with your Cheddar or Stilton, a Madiera with your Manchego, or an Icewine with your stinky cheeses- come find out which dessert pairings you love, so that you know what to pull out of the cellar the next time someone brings cheese over. $50 per person, 6pm-8pm at Peerless Building, reservations required.
