Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club

Tomato season deserves a proper celebration. The AAA Four Diamond Washington Duke Inn &amp; Golf Club is marking the occasion with an evening of refined dining and exceptional wines from California's Rombauer Vineyards. 

Showcasing the artistry of late-summer cuisine, this exclusive experience features a thoughtfully curated, multi-course menu highlighting peak-season tomatoes, perfectly paired with acclaimed wines from California's celebrated Rombauer Vineyards. Guests are invited to embrace the occasion by dressing in sophisticated shades of blue, inspired by Rombauer's iconic signature hue. 

Throughout the evening, guests will indulge in a masterfully composed progression of seasonal dishes. The culinary journey begins with an elevated Southern Tomato Sandwich, followed by a refreshing Tomato and Golden Watermelon Gazpacho and a delicate Tomato Tart with tonnato sauce. The centerpiece of the evening is a luxurious Tomato and Venison Osso Buco served with Carolina Gold risotto and black trumpet mushrooms before concluding with a vibrant strawberry, tomato, mint and meringue dessert. Thoughtfully crafted from the first course to the last, this immersive dining experience combines the Inn's renowned hospitality with inventive seasonal flavors and distinguished Napa Valley wines for an unforgettable celebration of summer.
