Grand Taste fundraiser features food samples from local chefs

Food lovers can circle their calendars; it’s time for the seventh annual Grand Taste event, presented by the Centre Wellington Rotary Club.

Grand Taste is a celebration of area restaurants and chefs. It is an opportunity to enjoy samples of specially prepared culinary delights while supporting the Groves hospital emergency room.

Proceeds from the event, sponsored by OLG, will be donated the emergency room’s equipment fund.

Grand Taste provides an introduction to the restaurants in Centre Wellington. A chef from each participating eatery will prepare a favourite dish for patrons to sample.

Centre Wellington eateries participating include the Breadalbane Inn and Spa, Brew House on the Grand, Cellar Pub and Grill, Cork, East Mill and Tapas, Fergies Fine Foods, Fraberts Fresh Foods, Getaway Restaurant, Goofie Newfie Pub and Grill, Log Cabin Heaven, Mill Street Bakery and Bistro, O’Briens Tap House,  Shepherds Pub, The Fountain Head and  Van Gali’s Café and Inn. Raise a toast with Guelph’s famed craft-brewer F&M Brewery.  

Entertainment during the event will be provided by Adrian Jones and Kim Regimbal.

There will be a silent auction featuring items donated by Grand Taste participants and supporters, including art, events, food, entertainment, gift certificates and more.

Tickets for the Grand Taste are $30, available in Fergus at Scotiabank, which will match funds for tickets purchased there, or in Elora at The Uptown Cafe, 140 Metcalfe Street, or from Centre Wellington Rotarians.

Grand Taste happens on April 22 from noon to 4pm at the Grand River Raceway, 7445 Wellington Road, Elora.
