35th Annual Rocky Mountain Rendezvous Project Whitefish Wine and Food Fest Supporting the Kids in our Community

Flathead locals and visitors are cordially invited to enjoy an annual Whitefish tradition. The Rocky Mountain Rendezvous: Project Whitefish Wine and Food Fest. For the last 35 years, Whitefish has hosted the annual wine tasting, food festival and auction. This year’s event, themed a night in the Wild Wild West, will be held at Grouse Mountain Lodge on Thursday, April 30th from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. The annual event raises much-needed funds to support kids in our community through sports and the performing arts. All proceeds from this benefit go to Project Whitefish Kids, the organization that maintains the Smith Fields Sports Complex for several sports teams, and the Whitefish Theatre Company.

The food is always superb with a fine sampling of cuisines from local restaurants including Mambo’s, Logan’s Grill at Grouse, Ed McGrew’s Barbeque, Latitude 48, Forage Montana, Fleur Bake Shop, and Whitefish Lake Restaurant. Summit Beverage always makes wine tasting a delight, providing a wonderful selection of wines and introducing new varieties for tasters to sample. Craft beer will also be provided by Blackstar Brewing Company.

A silent and live auction highlights the evening with lots of exciting items available this year. Auction items include, A Disneyworld Package, A private dinner with local culinary chefs Tim Good and John Evenhius, a private movie party at The O’Shaughnessy Center, sporting equipment, wine, baskets from local businesses, restaurant gift certificates, theatre tickets, and much, much more! Local businesses and individuals have generously donated all of these items.

As a special treat, John Dunnigan and David Walburn will be playing music during the evening Mikey Winn acting as the event’s emcees.
