Stonewall Resort to host farm-to-table fall Harvest Dinner Nov. 15

Stonewall Resort will host a farm-to-table Harvest Dinner on Nov. 15 featuring a four-course, locally sourced Appalachian menu by Executive Chef Matt Welsh, communal seating, ticketed dinner and overnight package options, and limited reservations.

Stonewall Resort will host its highly anticipated Harvest Dinner on Saturday, November 15 at 6:00 p.m., offering an unforgettable farm-to-table dining experience that captures the spirit and flavors of Appalachia.

“This is a true taste of place,” said Andre’ D’Amour, general manager at Stonewall Resort. “Every dish tells a story of community, craft, and culture unique to West Virginia.”

Prepared by Executive Chef Matt Welsh, the Harvest Dinner is more than a meal – it’s a celebration of West Virginia’s farmers, artisans, and culinary traditions. Known across the Mountain State as The Vagabond Chef, Welsh is dedicated to championing local food and fostering connections between farmers, producers, and guests. As part of his role with the West Virginia State Parks system, Chef Welsh creates authentic farm-to-table experiences at multiple park properties, celebrating Appalachian culture through innovative yet approachable cuisine that honors the land and communities he serves.

Guests will enjoy a four-course, locally sourced menu designed to showcase the region’s seasonal bounty, while engaging with Chef Welsh, fellow diners, and the stories behind each ingredient.

Menu highlights include:

Fall Beet and Pear Salad – toasted walnuts, fresh pears, organic mixed greens, roasted beets, red onion, creamy goat cheese, and lemon honey thyme dressing

Fire Roasted Corn and Potato Soup – sweet fire roasted corn, fresh vegetables, baby Yukon potatoes, fresh cream, bone stock

Wild Mushroom Stuffed Turkey and Cornbread Stuffing Fritters – tender turkey, assorted mushrooms, apple bacon Brussels sprouts, cranberry relish

Pumpkin Cheesecake – creamy pumpkin cheesecake with fall spices, whipped cream, and pecans

Guests can choose from two ticketing options:

Overnight Package: Includes two tickets to the dinner, one drink of choice per person, and overnight lodge accommodations.

À La Carte Ticket: Includes one dinner ticket, one drink of choice, and the four-course plated meal.

Communal seating will encourage connections among guests, with service beginning promptly and continuing for up to 30 minutes after the event start time.

Tickets are limited and reservations are encouraged. For pricing, lodging details, and booking information, contact Stonewall Resort at (304) 269-7400 or visit www.stonewallresort.com.
