The tasting will be a prelude to a sumptuous four-course dinner catered by Enchantment Resort. Executive Chef David Schmidt has prepared a “Fresh at the Farm” menu of fresh foods from the area prepared in a “slow food” manner. An award-worthy seasonal menu will highlight this special event.Included in the price of a ticket will be a chance to win fabulous dining prizes … dinners, gift certificates, fine food, wine and more! Plus, a live auction featuring dinner parties, chef’s tastings, private parties and much more will be part of the evening’s festivities.
“The Enchantment, Chef David Schmidt, all of the local vineyards and growers have come together to make this evening extraordinarily special to benefit the film festival,” said the festival director Patrick Schweiss. “They are pulling out all the stops to make this a truly spectacular evening of delicious local culinary creations in a magical creekside ambiance under the moonlight.”The highlight of this benefit for the Sedona International Film Festival will be “cinema under the stars” featuring a selection of short films submitted for this year’s festival. Audience members get to be the judges and jury and will cast their votes for which of these films will be included in the 2013 Sedona Film Festival.
“Join SIFF program director, Sagan Lewis, as you rate the films just the way our screening committee rates them … and the winning film will be featured in our upcoming lineup!” added Schweiss.
“A Taste of the Verde Valley” wine-tasting reception begins at 5 p.m. with dinner starting at 6:30 p.m. followed by the short films and program at dusk.
