Manitoba Institute of Culinary Arts events return with Farewell to Fall
After a hiatus due to pandemic constraints, Assiniboine Community College’s culinary events are
back, kicking off with a brand new event, Farewell to Fall.
BRANDON, Man. (November 16, 2021)—From the kitchen that delivered your local event favourites like Great Grey Owl Restaurant, Harvest on the Hill and Holiday Buffet, we’re introducing Farewell to Fall—an all-new culinary experience hosted at the Manitoba Institute of Culinary Arts (MICA) on December 2. Tickets go on sale November 18 at 10 a.m.
“Assiniboine has long provided the community with remarkable culinary events,” said Tim Hore, Dean, School of Agriculture & Environment. “With Farewell to Fall, we hope to bolster our reputation as the host of ‘can’t miss events’ and continue that legacy.”
Farewell to Fall, a new event to the MICA event repertoire, includes a multi-course dinner, fused with selfserve appetizer and dessert action stations. The event promises a 5-star dining experience with the flair of flambé and other culinary show techniques. Along with dinner, guests will have the opportunity to peruse an evening market with seasonal products, such as jams, jellies and preserves made by students for purchase.
“We’re proud of the work that our MICA students put in each year to our many renowned events, so it’s
spectacular to see this new event on the books this winter,” said Hore. “This is a great learning experience for students, and we know the community will welcome the opportunity to enjoy what our MICA students have to offer once again.”
Guests at Farewell to Fall will experience the work and talents of Culinary Arts, Baking Foundations and Hotel and Restaurant Management students. The evening event will have four available seating times. Tickets are $60 and must be purchased in full table allotments of either two, four or six.
