REVIEW | Feast ON 7-Course Dinner Experience at Spirit Tree Cidery

First off, let me just say that I love beef and cheese. When I heard about the Feast ON dinner featuring both, I couldn't say no. I invited my friend along for a mini road trip to Terra Cotta, just South West of Caledon for this 6-course dinner featuring cider pairings from Spirit Tree Cidery.

For those of you that are not aware of what Feast ON is, it's an Ontario wide dining series created by the Ontario Culinary Tourism Alliance to showcase the unique taste that Ontario has to offer. Feast ON certified restaurants and chefs offer unique experiences that focus on local food and drinks.

This Ontario Beef & Cheese Dinner featured produce from Heatherlea Farms of Caledon, known for their grass-fed and drug free meat, and Monteforte Dairy from Stratford.

Check out the amazing dinner that we indulged in:

The Spirit Tree Cidery is one-of-a-kind. It's not only a cidery, it's also a bakery, kitchen and a farm store.  The Cider House Bistro offers popular wood oven pizzas every Fridays and Saturdays and a wide selection of freshly baked bread and baked goods everyday.
Want to plan a visit? There is an upcoming 7-course Winter Cider Master's Dinner on February 6th that should be taken advantage of!

Don't miss out on the next Feast ON event! Stay in the know.
