Vineyard Supper in Braselton: Latitude One Chef and Winemaker Dinner at Chateau Elan | Winery | Wine

At Chateau Elan — 100 Rue Charlemagne Dr, Braselton, GA — the evening shifts from vineyard hush to a small, intentional celebration: Latitude One: Chef and Winemaker Dinner, a three-hour tasting that pairs Executive Chef John Beriker’s seasonally driven menu with selections from Executive Winemaker Simone Bergese. Located just outside Braselton in northeast Georgia, the event places modern Southeast Asian flavors against the backdrop of rolling vines and warm, humid air that shapes the region’s growing season.

The progression of courses moves with clear direction: honey walnut shrimp that balances candied texture with fresh ginger, wagyu dumplings lacquered in chili crunch, and a coconut curry that carries basil and simmered depth. Karaage chicken lands bright with jasmine rice and lemon aioli before beef rendang rounds the savory arc, and banana fritters with ube ice cream close the sequence on a nostalgic, crunchy note. Each course is matched to Chateau Elan wines chosen to highlight acidity, structure, and nuance; the result feels less like a tasting and more like a line of careful conversations between plate and glass.

Practical details sit alongside the sensory. The dinner runs 6:30–9:30 PM and is designed for adults 21 and over—it's an intimate, ticketed experience ($230 per guest on the advertised date). The meeting point and venue is 100 Rue Charlemagne Dr; use the provided arrival instructions in your confirmation and allow time for parking and check-in. Dress leans smart-casual: polished but comfortable for walking across paved paths and vineyard edges.

What makes this dinner stand out is how it translates terroir into technique. The local soil and seasonal humidity influence vine behavior; Simone Bergese’s picks respond to those elements with wines that emphasize balance over flash. Chef Beriker’s menu borrows heat and acidity from Singapore and Thailand but applies a restrained, ingredient-focused approach that reads as distinctly regional when served amid the vines.

Why go? It’s a sensory shortcut to place—if you want to experience Georgia wine country with an adventurous palate, this evening compresses vineyard insights, hospitality craftsmanship, and bold but precise flavors into a single night. Bring curiosity, a note-taking habit for bottles you love, and a camera for sunset light across the rows—the conversation between kitchen and cellar is the real attraction here.

Beyond the plate, Latitude One serves as an entry point to Braselton’s outdoor offerings: afternoons on vineyard trails, golf rounds, and spa sessions are common ways guests extend their visit. Chateau Elan’s estate grounds create a public-facing landscape where wine production, hospitality, and outdoor leisure intersect—making this dinner a memorable waypoint for travelers seeking culinary craft tied to place. Reserve early through the booking link and plan to arrive before sunset to watch the vineyard take on color nightly.
