The Inn at Hastings Park Announces Popular Farm and Wine Dinner Series

LEXINGTON, Mass., May 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Inn at Hastings Park today announced the schedule and details of its popular farm dinner series this summer.  The Farm + Vine dinners are epicurean highlights of the year for the Boston area.  

Each dinner is hosted with one of the Inn's neighboring farms and provides an opportunity for diners to celebrate the best of regional, seasonal cuisine.

"The Inn at Hastings Park has created a culinary experience that is not offered anywhere else in the region," said Trisha Pérez Kennealy, the owner of The Inn at Hastings Park.  "We work closely with local farms throughout the year, and these dinners are thoughtful celebrations of these partnerships.  These Farm + Vine dinners provide an opportunity for the farmers and our team at the Inn to collaborate in creating inspiring and memorable experiences for our guests," she said.

Featured farms are modern and innovative, yet also serve as historic Lexington area community fixtures—Wilson Farms, Drumlin Farms, and Codman Community Farms. The July Farm + Vine dinner features Tufts University's internationally respected nutrition initiative, the New Entry Sustainable Farming Project.  Each of the four farm dinners start with a welcome reception prior to a three-course prix fixe dinner menu, all paired with fine wines.
