July 29

Tapas Tuesday

Spend an evening with us enjoying the fabulous weather, a glass of wine and delicious tapas on the porch or patio (weather permitting) at Holly Hill Inn!
We're open 5:30-8:30 p.m. on the last Tuesday of each month for a tapas menu and tasting of Spanish and other wines.
The tradition of serving food on small plates, or tapas, originated in Spain. These small plates of food can be shared among friends, or several can be ordered as a meal. The dishes, such as gambas al pilpil (shrimp in garlic sauce) or a Spanish tortilla, can range from spicy to light, soups to meats, chilled or hot. Vegetarian options are always available at the Holly Hill Inn. Cost for each plate ranges from $5-$10.
“I want to inspire folks to sit around and drink wine, eat all kinds of delicious tidbits and indulge themselves in leisurely discussions about art, politics, literature, music or anything at all,” Chef and co-owner Ouita Michel said. “Come and just enjoy yourself — eat one plate or seven plates!”
No reservations are required, although groups may want to reserve tables. Stop and relax after your day with friends, or come by yourself and meet new friends.

July 31

Pinot on the Porch

We can't let the beer drinkers have all the after-work fun. Not that we have anything against them — some are our best friends! In that spirit, we announce our version of happy hour, the Wine Guild Pinot on the Porch. Our hope with this event is to provide you with a chance to relax on our beautiful, spacious front porch, and socialize with other wine lovers in a casual setting.
As the title indicates, Pinot on the Porch will celebrate all things pinot. Pinot grigio and pinot blanc grapes are famous worldwide for the crisp, fruity white wines they produce. The pinot noir grape is the source of some of the world's most outstanding red wines from California, Oregon, France (red Burgundy), New Zealand and Australia, to mention a few.
At Pinot on the Porch, come meet our new Wine Guildmaster, Steve Mancuso of Cincinnati, a longtime friend and wine aficionado. Steve will pour several interesting wines made by pinot grapes, including one specially featured high-end
or difficult-to-find pinot noir.
The cost of Pinot on the Porch is $20 a person, which includes three glasses of wine and hors d'oeuvres. Of course, we hope you'll join us later for dinner at Holly Hill, but that's entirely optional. Reservations for Pinot on the Porch and dinner are available by calling (859) 846-4732.
5-7 p.m.
$20
