Earlier this summer, Keith and I\u00a0finally had a chance to visit\u00a0Campo di Bella<\/a> in Mt. Horeb for one of their farm to table dinners.\u00a0 It is a winery and family farm owned and operated by Marc and Mary Ann Bellazzini.\u00a0 Discover Wisconsin<\/a> (the nation’s longest running\u00a0tourism show)\u00a0happened to be filming the evening we attended.\u00a0 We started with some wine, enjoyed the view on the patio, and found our seats at one of the two long tables that were set up for the evening.\u00a0 The\u00a0waitstaff (including a couple of Bellazzini kids) served five courses to the guest which started with\u00a0stuffed zucchini flowers and\u00a0ratatouille on\u00a0crostini.\u00a0The main course was really special to Mary Ann because she had\u00a0recently\u00a0inherited the recipe for the sausages from her grandparents.\u00a0 The sausages (best thing we had that night) were plated with roast chicken, red wine and balsamic vinegar braised cipollini, and steamed Romanesco broccoli<\/a>.\u00a0 By the way, the chickens were raised just down the road by a woman named Bird.\u00a0 I am not making this up!\u00a0 After munching on some local cheeses and berry panna cotta for dessert, I got to chat a bit with one of the Discover Wisconsin hosts, Mariah Haberman.\u00a0 The first thing I asked her was how she managed her weight\u00a0having to eat the many multi-course meals that comes with the job.\u00a0 “Share with the crew!” was her answer.\u00a0 She also happened to mention how much she loved the Driftless region and how eager she was to know more about the people in the area.\u00a0 And I must mention the woman who sat next to me during dinner, Roberta Barham,<\/a> aronia berry expert.\u00a0 The night ended with a speech by Mary Ann and applause all around\u00a0for the chef (her husband Marc) and the staff.<\/p>\n

If you live or happen to be in the area, be sure to check out their wine bar<\/a>, cooking classes, and special dinners<\/a>.\u00a0 Coming up\u00a0this weekend is a dinner featuring Sitka Salmon and\u00a0a cheesemaker’s dinner featuring Uplands Cheese.\u00a0We enjoyed our time there we look forward to visiting again.\u00a0 Anyone who cares to know about the land they live on\u00a0and who want to share its beauty and fruits\u00a0with others is pretty\u00a0wonderful in my book.\u00a0 In case you didn’t know, Campo di Bella means “beautiful field”, made extra special with babydoll sheep frolicking in the fields!<\/p>\n
