Meritage Restaurant at Callaway Vineyard & Winery
The word "Meritage" is a combination of the words "merit" and "heritage" and was created as a recognizable name associated with high quality blended wines. Meritage at Callaway applies this high quality concept of pairing food and wine to create the perfect dining experience.
Executive Chef, Michael Henry, has designed an exciting Tapas menu with a Mediterranean flare. The cuisine will be based on the “small plate” concept of big flavor and variety, with menu selections being paired with the best of what Callaway Winery offers. Order one or several, then enjoy them like the Spanish do – with a glass of wine and a relaxed attitude!
