FRANKENMUTH, Mich. - Michimich -- Frankenmuth Bavarian Inn Restaurant (https://www.bavarianinn.com/) will host their widely anticipated Walker on the Water Bourbon Dinner on September 12, 2025. The event will take place on the Holz Brücke Wooden Covered Bridge, offering a once in a lifetime experience for guests.

Executive Chef Jason Wellnitz and Chef Jacob Austin, representing the culinary talents of the Bavarian Inn Lodge and Bavarian Inn Restaurant, have collaborated to craft a menu that not only complements the bold, refined flavors of Johnnie Walker whiskey but also reflects the timeless elegance of the Covered Bridge setting.

Each course will be paired with a Johnnie Walker whiskey cocktail, beginning with the hors d'oeuvres: skewered cubes of pork belly finished with a bourbon-maple glaze and scotch-braised chicken thigh, served alongside a refreshing Welcome Highball. Following the hors d'oeuvres, the first course will be served: Grilled Peaches, candy-striped beets, baby arugula, toasted walnuts, feta, and fresh mint paired with a Penicillin Cocktail.
