The Grove Park Inn, which has been the backdrop for plenty of wine drinking over its century-long history, is getting into wine-making with the creation of its own private label. The first two wines—a 2005 Grove Park Inn Chardonnay and a 2004 Grove Park Inn Cabernet Sauvignon—will debut at a Thursday, June 14, dinner featuring Kerry Damskey, the Sonoma County winemaker who served as vintner. Tickets are $99; for reservations, call 438-5800.
The Weinhaus in Asheville is heading south this month to partner with Flight Wood Grill for a five-course wine dinner.

Art of the visual and drinkable varieties will be on the auction block at Transylvania Community Arts Council’s upcoming benefit. “The Artful Palette Wine and Art Auction,” at the Community Arts Center on Tuesday, June 12, at 6 p.m., will feature art by 20 local artists, a wine tasting conducted by Main Street Ltd. and a wine auction hosted by Mayor Jimmy Harris.
