Mission Inn is pleased to present a pairings dinner with a slightly different twist. Please join us on Saturday, May 15, for an amazing five-course craft spirits dinner featuring exceptional selections from Florida’s own Marlin & Barrel small-batch craft distillery in Fernandina Beach!

Mission Inn Resort’s talented culinary team has drawn up a menu featuring flavor-packed dishes from land and sea to pair perfectly with the Marlin & Barrel spirits chosen specially for this event. The evening’s meal begins with a grilled venison lettuce wrap paired with gin and tonic, followed by roasted red pepper bisque with a jumbo grilled sea scallop that’s paired with a smoked pepper vodka bloody Caesar. You’ll enjoy an intermezzo of Marlin & Barrel Blossom Orangecello sorbet as you reflect on the satisfying beginning and anticipate what is yet to come – a hearty entrée of peppercorn-encrusted New York strip steak with oyster mushroom ragout served with a Shoreline Whiskey Old-Fashioned, topped off by a decadent dessert of dark chocolate flourless cake paired with a Bearing Espresso Rum Cappuccino Cocktail. Wow! And there will be a special raffle for dinner guests.

After this amazing dinner experience, please join us for cigars around the fire pits on the patio. Cigars are for sale at La Margarita Bar. A limited number of bottles of the fine spirits featured during the evening’s dinner also will be for sale.

This fabulous craft spirits dinner is priced at $119 per guest, plus tax and service charge. Seating is limited. Reserve your seat for this unforgettable experience by calling (352) 324-3930, ext. 7161. This is an evening you won’t want to miss!
