We've Set the Date! - Spring 2012 Wine Dinner Getaway

You're invited to escape to Madison CT for a very special Wine Dinner Getaway Escape. 

On Friday April 20, 2012, in keeping with our tradition of creating a most memorable evening, we again offer our "Wine Dinner Getaway Escape" for your enjoyment. The evening will begin with a reception of fine hors d’oeuvres and wine, followed by a six-course tasting menu for a perfectly paired wine dinner experience!

We will be enjoying an Odyssey around the world in wines, tracing the travels of innkeeper Victoria, who first learned to drink wine as a university student on a month-long concert choir tour throughout Europe.  Our tour directors are John and Whitney Algieri, new owners of the Madison Wine Shop and most enthusiastic to share their experiences and knowledge about the evening's wine offerings.

All of the wines will be unique and interesting, complimenting each and every plateful. As John and Whitney present and pour each wine with each course, you will learn about the wines and the regions they come from and why and how they pair with the delectable morsels which accompany them. John has selected some of the area's finest offerings! Collaborating with us, our specially selected fine dining restaurant, the gourmet cheese shop and the wine shop will create a symphony for your palate!

All of the wines are exquisite and have been selected and are available at the Madison Wine Shop. Hors d’oeuvres, an opening course and dessert will be prepared by the Tidewater Inn, dinner courses will be prepared by the chef James Quinlivan of The Stone House Restaurant, the cheese course provided by Foxglove Madison Cheese, etc..

This exciting journey of food and wine will begin at 6:30pm. Check in to your room ahead of time and come dressed comfortably to dine, but be prepared for an elegantly served meal from start to finish. After your sumptuous repast you’ll retire to the comfort of your beautifully appointed room here at the Tidewater Inn. You will wake the next morning to a bountiful breakfast, the perfect way to start your day. Spend the afternoon at the Madison Wine Shop to continue your wine tasting adventure. You may even extend your stay with us to take in all the Connecticut Shoreline has to offer, from our beautiful beaches to museums, there is something for everyone!

Rates depend on your choice of guestroom and range from $340.00 to $425.00 per couple or $240.00 to $325.00 for one – Plus taxes and gratuity.
