May 15th, 7:00pm - 9:00pm

Catoctin Creek is super pleased to welcome the Chef John Wolford of Savoir Faire as our guest chefs for our Distillery Dinner in August! 

Chef Wolford is a staple of the local cuisine scene, with over 40 years of event planning and fine culinary experience. Joan moved from New Jersey when she was awarded a position at the Heart in Hand in Clifton, Virginia. It was there that she fell in love with the great hospitality and cuisine of the South. Suzanne Worsham, the Heart in Hand’s owner and head chef, took Joannie under her wings and taught her the most valuable trait in business—a good work ethic and a passion for creating fine food. Side by side, Suzanne and Joan fed the famous, to include Nancy Reagan and George Will on a regular basis. Mrs. Reagan told Joan, “You are much too young to be such a good cook.”

Joan left the Heart in Hand in 1986 to launch her own dream—the Hamilton Garden Inn, a fine dining restaurant and bed and breakfast in Hamilton, Virginia.

Joan’s dear friend and loyal patron of the Hamilton Garden Inn, Mr. Gus Eyssell often expressed to Joan after his dinner that she had “such Savoir Faire.” In 1997, when Joan decided to start her new catering company, it was clear that Mr. Eyssell had christened the name of the new venture. Savoir Fare opened its new commercial kitchen, and today, caters throughout Northern Virginia.

Catoctin Creek staff will also personally craft cocktails expertly paired with your dinner! This will be a magical evening, and one not to miss!! Dinner is priced at $130, and includes all five courses and cocktails.
