Spring Dinner

On June 5, 2025, the Norfolk Chapter decided to take a much needed road trip to Sioux Falls, South Dakota, to enjoy not only a first class dining experience, but also an overnight adventure! Sioux Falls is a hidden gem on the Big Sioux River at the joinder of the states of South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa. The Falls of the Big Sioux River have been a regional attraction dating back to when Native Americans would visit the breathtaking water falls. Our event took place at "R" Wine Bar & Kitchen and was hosted by owner Riccardo Tarabelsi, who graciously worked with our event committee to put together a truly gourmet menu. The wine for the evening dinner was produced at Ballentine Winery in Napa Valley, California. It featured a representative from the winery introducing us all to the character of their wines as they had been paired with our dinner selections. Not only was the food and wine delicious, but the presentation of the dinner itself was extraordinary! The evening ended up being the main focus of a fun travel get-away that we are "R" highly recommending for any wine and food enthusiasts!
