An autumn food outing can be especially appealing when the evening comes with a defined time, place and menu.

Leelanau Sands Casino has scheduled its Harvest Wine Celebration for Saturday, October 24, from 5 to 8 p.m.

The official ticket listing places it in the casino showroom in Peshawbestown and says guests must be 21 or older.

For CherryBuzz readers, it offers a planned tasting-style evening rather than a day of coordinating several winery stops.

What the ticket includes

The ticket page advertises seven food-and-wine pairings at a $40 base price.

It currently displays $44.35 including fees for a ticket, so use the checkout total when comparing the evening with your budget.

All sales are listed as final, with no refunds.

Check those terms before purchasing, especially if you are arranging the outing for several people.

Ask each guest to confirm availability before one person takes responsibility for a group purchase.

A menu built for fall

The published menu includes roasted tomato and white bean soup, pumpkin hummus with sugar-dusted pita, and a spiced lamb meatball.

It also lists beef short rib with celery root puree, seared scallop with butternut squash caponata and raspberry crumble.

Those details give readers a useful sense of the range without promising how much food any individual will want.

If a dietary requirement matters to your decision, contact the venue before booking and ask what accommodation is available.

Do not assume that an ingredient can be removed or a pairing substituted simply because a dish sounds adaptable.

Check the final pairing lineup

The venue’s events page and its ticket page agree on the core date, hours, age requirement and seven-pairing format.

Their published wine partner details differ, so confirm the final lineup directly if a particular producer is the reason you want to attend.

That is also a useful reminder to treat a promotional menu as something to verify when a specific detail matters.

Let the overall format guide the first decision, then ask the venue about the details that would make or break your evening.

Make transportation part of the reservation

The ticket page gives the showroom address as 2521 North West Bay Shore Drive, Peshawbestown.

Choose a designated driver or arrange suitable transportation before purchasing wine-event tickets.

Give that plan the same attention as the reservation itself, including the trip home.

If members of your group have different transportation arrangements, agree on a meeting point and a way to stay in touch.

Save the event page and the reservation information where they will be easy to find on the day.

A simple October plan

Start with the guest list, confirm that the age requirement works for everyone, and review the menu together.

Then settle the final ticket cost, dietary questions and transportation before adding anything else to the evening.

A three-hour event can stand on its own without an extra schedule of stops.

If you want a conversation starter, ask which food pairing surprised each person most rather than trying to rank everything.

The appeal is having a shared activity that gives friends something specific to experience and discuss.

For CherryBuzz readers looking for an October night out, the Harvest Wine Celebration has the essential planning details in place.

Confirm the current lineup and checkout terms with the organizer, then build the evening around the people you want to spend time with.
