Something New Is Cooking at Grinder’s Switch Winery — And You’re Invited! Join us for a beautiful Chef Dinner & Wine Pairing Experience in Columbia and Centerville, TN!
We’ve been dreaming up something special behind the scenes — something we’ve only done once before in GSW history and the very first at our Columbia location! And now, we’re excited to finally share it with you.
This summer, for the first time in a few years, we’re hosting our very first Chef-Curated Dinner & Wine Pairing Experience — a four-course evening that brings together our love of good food, good wine, and good company.
We’ve teamed up with the incredibly talented Chef Ranada Riley, whose creativity in the kitchen is only matched by her warmth and passion for connecting with people over a shared meal. For this special wine dinner, she’s crafted a seasonal menu that pairs beautifully with four of our handcrafted wines — and she’ll be there to walk us through each course, sharing stories, tips, and live demos along the way.
This isn’t just a dinner. It’s an evening we’ve created to slow down, gather around the table, and enjoy something together — whether you’re a longtime wine lover or just curious to try something new.
Here’s what to expect:
-
A four-course meal created by Chef Ranada Riley (Learn more about Chef Ranada here)
-
Wine pairings with Grinder’s Switch Winery Wines chosen to complement each dish
-
Live cooking demos and guided tastings
-
