ARCTUROS DINING SERIES
Safely experience culinary excellence in the heart of Northern Michigan Wine Country.
We celebrate our winery’s vineyard to table practices where grapes are locally grown, harvested, and processed at our two Traverse City area wineries. We honor seasonal harvest bounties, a farm-to-fork practice our culinary team takes to heart by growing, raising, and sourcing from our own and regional farms.
The evening begins with a welcoming reception featuring a specialty-themed craft cocktail where conversations and striking up new friendships are encouraged.
The chef will share the inspiration behind the evening’s menu during service, and a winery representative will talk about the wine pairings with updates on new releases and vintages.
Prices are per person and include a welcome cocktail, dinner, wine pairings, tax & service fee.
Seats are limited. Purchase your tickets today!

I was at the Arcturos/Harvest Dinner, Morels in May and it was a great experience. Delicious food, great wine and fantastic company! I definitely recommend and will go back.

We were fortunate enough to experience an Arcturos/Harvest Dinner food and wine pairing event and all we can say was that it truly was a magical evening!!! It was our wedding anniversary and dinner was set in the vineyard! All around us the scenery was breathtaking, the food and wine were fantastic!!! Black Star Farms is a remarkable winery, you’re missing out if you’re in the area and don’t stop in!
