Avant Harvest Dinner 2014

It has been a while since I have blogged because I have been so busy but really wanted to share about this great winery restaurant and their annual harvest dinner.  I love good wine and great food; so when I find a winery that is exceptional in both departments it makes for a fabulous evening. Gourmet food, delicious wine, friendly staff and the perfect choice of background music; what more could you ask for. The wine was flowing and everything from the appetizers to desert was perfect and presented beautifully. In fact it was the best meal I have had in a very long time. The event took place in their barrel room and it was a festive and a fantastic evening with a great group of wine enthusiasts. Check out their restaurant and tasting room at 24 industrial way in Buellton where you will find 24 wineries under one roof. If you are looking for a great wine club or just a great place for lunch or dinner I give Avant 5 stars.
