Waterleaf Restaurant Hosts Bethel Heights Vineyard Wine Dinner May 30

Waterleaf restaurant in Glen Ellyn will host a Bethel Heights Vineyard wine dinner on Thursday, May 30, which will feature four wines from one of Oregon's select wineries. Bethel Heights co-owner Jessie Casteel will complete the evening by being on hand to enjoy this exquisite dinner paired with the wines from her vineyard.

Following a 6:30 p.m. reception, guests will enjoy a four-course, prix fixe dinner at Waterleaf at 7 p.m. prepared by Chef Nadia Tilkian and paired with premier selections from the distinguished Bethel Heights cellars.

“We are thrilled to have Jessie Casteel joining us in May,” said Jean Pierre Leroux, Waterleaf General Manager. “It is a marvelous opportunity for our guests to personally meet and chat informally with the proprietor.”

Bethel Heights Vineyard is a family vineyard established in 1977 by the Casteel-Dudley-Webb families. The vineyard focuses on growing Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Pinot gris, Pinot blanc, Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Grüner Veltliner grapes to produce their fresh and lively wines. The penetrating flavors of these wines are created using sustainable Oregon farming practices, enhancing both the wines and the environment in which they are created.
