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 PurseMicrofarm 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 are sure to harmonize with wines in your glass.

“I hope you enjoy!”
