Enjoy Lunch At The Vineyard With Our Private Chef

Your choice of a handcrafted farm-to-table sandwich or salad with a group side to share. A fun and relaxing day awaits!

Meet Our Chef, Justin Paruszkiewicz

Chef Justin was a recent winner on Guy Fieri’s Guy’s Grocery Games, early in 2024.

The Bottle Run has partnered with Chef Justin in order to bring our guests a delightful menu of gourmet deli sandwiches and salads.

Inspired by the vineyards, Chef Justin features farm-to-table greens from the local Sower’s Purse Micro Farm based in Benton Harbor, Michigan. (Local greens available June - September)

Leaning into his own experiences at the local Southwest Michigan wineries, Chef Justin created a menu that is unique and approachable.  Not too heavy, his wine country-inspired bites burst with fresh flavors that will pair beautifully with wines in your glass.

“I hope you enjoy!”
