Halloween may be just around the corner, but owners of a local bed-and-breakfast are partnering with a new downtown Walla Walla winery to plan Thanksgiving dinner.

Chef Charles Maddrey of the Fat Duck Inn will prepare a family-style Thanksgiving feast to be served at Walla Faces, Walla Walla’s new tasting room at 216 E. Main St.

The event is limited to 50 guests, so reservations are required. The cost is $65 per person and includes dinner and one bottle of Walla Faces wine per couple.
