Harvest Restaurant is hosting a four-course California wine dinner at its River location from 6 – 8 p.m. on Tuesday, November 13, and from 6 – 8 p.m., Wednesday, November 14 at the Oro Valley location.

The dinner is inspired by the flavors and wines of our neighbor to the west and is available at both Harvest locations.

Harvest is offering a taste of what’s commonly found on your plate in California, starting off with white fish tacos and jicama coleslaw, and finishing the meal with a glass of Maddalena Zinfandel and the sweetness of Chocolate and Raspberry Bombe Cake.

Seating will be limited and is $59 per person, so make your reservation ahead of time.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.

Grant Road construction near Alvernon Way is nearing its end. Crews started in May 2024 and expect to finish October 2026. The finished road will have six lanes, landscaped medians, and buffered bike lanes. Meanwhile, neighborhood restaurants have kept serving customers through lane shifts and driveway limits. Drivers who avoided the area may have skipped a few favorites. Now that the finish line is in sight, it is a good time to return. Here are four restaurants worth a visit. @godimsumaz @karameloking @noodleholicstucson @rancheroscarniceriagrant More guides on Tucsonfoodie.comGrant Road construction near Alvernon Way is nearing its end.
