Bouillabaisse Bash at the Barn

June 13^th, 2010

Celebrate spring like you’re in southern France… For a taste of spring in Provence, we’re serving up big, spicy bowls of delicious Bouillabaisse and washing it down with piles of juicy, ice-cold rosé.

Every town in southern France has a different variation of Bouillabaisse. Every chef in the region adds his or her own twist to this legendary seafood stew. But two things are always true in Provence: There’s no better way to wash down a spicy bowl of Bouillabaisse than with cold glass of a gorgeous rosé, and there’s no better way to spend a warm spring evening than with lots of food, wine & friends. Join us for a night of eating, drinking and merriment at the Intervale Barn – the heart of Burlington’s Fresh District.

Where: The Interval Barn, Burlington Vermont

When: Sunday, June 13^th 4:30 – 8:00 (rain or shine)

Musical Guests: The Wrecking Ball (honky tonk/country)
