Before the Austin Mac and Cheese Festival takes over Star Hill Ranch on November 16, you can kick things off with an intimate night inside Antonelli’s Cheese Community Tasting Room on South Lamar. Luxury private chef Danny Kievit will lead a five course mac and cheese tasting where each dish is built around a different world class cheese and paired with a wine that knows how to make it shine. 

This is not just mac and wine night. It is a full blown flavor trip where nostalgia meets fine dining and leaves you questioning why you ever settled for the powdered stuff. Expect indulgence, expect a little chaos, and expect to walk out knowing that mac and cheese just grew up in front of your eyes.

 

This is a collaboration between Antonelli's Cheese, Leave it to Kievit, and Austin Mac & Cheese Festival.

Beverages?

Water and 5 wines (3 ounce pours each) are included.  Additionally, you may purchase beverages at the event, selecting from wine, beer, cider, non-alcoholic beer, mocktails, and sparkling water.  Note: This is not a BYOB location.
