Ponte Family Winery, a 310-acre, family-owned winery located in the heart of Temecula Wine Country, will host Slow Food Temecula Valley’s 100 Mile Dinner on Saturday, February 5, from 6-9pm. All principal ingredients in this five-course dinner will be sourced from within 100 miles of the Temecula Valley. Each course will be prepared by different chefs from local wineries and accompanied by fine wines from those wineries. Participating chefs hail from Ponte Family Winery, Callaway, E.A.T., Dean, and Pechanga. Prior to the dinner, there will be a cocktail reception for guests with sparkling wines, beer from Black Market Brewery, and hors d’oeuvres. Speakers will address patrons throughout the evening, and proceeds will benefit Slow Food in school programs in the Temecula Valley. (951/694-9444, www.pontewinery.com) JANE SHIOMI
