From the Funhouse Commons
Attention foodies—here’s an event you won’t want to miss. For the fourth year running, Doe Bay Resort is hosting a 4-star dinner and wine event with all proceeds benefiting The Funhouse Commons.
Each autumn Doe Bay invites one of their favorite Washington vintners to match wines to each course of a prix fixe dinner. Periodically throughout the evening, the vintner talks in detail about each wine and their wine-making methods and philosophy. It makes for an interesting and sumptuous evening.
This year Doe Bay sommelier Shannon Borg has invited the Masquerade Wine company of Bellingham to host the event.
Masquerade’s wines will be matched with an incredible menu featuring mostly local seafood, including oysters, Dungeness crab, geoduck and salmon. You will find the entire menu on the Funhouse Commons website. A vegetarian menu will be available but only if requested in advance.
The dinner will be on Sunday, October 28th. The cost is $75 per person, which includes food and wine, tax and gratuity extra. There will only be one seating, and there is room for only 40-50 people. Call Doe Bay Café at 360-376-8059 for reservations.
“Doe Bay Resort is committed to being a good neighbor and the Funhouse makes Orcas the coolest neighborhood in the islands,” says resort manager and Funhouse Board Member Jami Mitchell.
“The Funhouse Commons thanks Jami, Shannon, Joe & Maureen Brotherton and the Doe Bay Café staff for putting this incredible event together for us,” says Pete Moe, Funhouse executive director. “Doe Bay is not only a wonderful business, but a huge supporter of the community.”
