Michigan's only dedicated sparkling wine house,MAWBY and it’s rolling vineyard hills are a perfect setting for an elegant dinner celebration of northern Michigan's bounty. An unforgettable evening at MAWBY's iconic estate becomes the backdrop for a multi-course dinner that brings together the very best of the region — from vine to table.
At the heart of the evening is chef Abra Berens, a chef, former farmer, and writer who believes the meals we eat should change with the seasons and that their ingredients should come from nearby. With deep roots in northern Michigan — including eight years farming and cooking on the Leelanau Peninsula — Berens brings an intimate understanding of this land and its flavors to everything she creates. Each course will showcase her signature approach: honest, ingredient-driven cooking that honors the farmers and growers behind every bite, paired alongside MAWBY's traditionally crafted sparkling wines, rooted in the soils of Leelanau County. An evening where the fields, the vines, and the table all tell the same story.
