Our Culinary Pop-Up series enters its third year with a spooktacular Taste of Spain!

This Halloween weekend, step into our transformed (in "costume!") dining room for an exclusive Spanish Tapas culinary experience!

We’re setting the mood with eerie elegance with this moody theme and a festive menu packed with vibrant, mouthwatering small plates designed to share.

Join us for an unforgettable weekend full of bold flavors, themed cocktails, and hauntingly good company! And maybe a few tricks and surprises...

Stay the night and maybe you'll meet one of our ghostly residents! There are parties going on in town and we'll be showing movies in our new room, The Study.

So get dressed up and plan a fun time in Fort Benton!
Give us a call to book: 406.622.1882, head to the link in our bio or to our website to view the full menu.

It's going to be frighteningly delish!

Our annual Fall w**e dinner is back!

We have an exquisite menu prepared by Executive Chef, Keith Chinn, with a line-up of beautiful w**es from Aviam Cellars!

On Friday, we'll have artist Tanara Martin with her stunning pieces, and w**e/whiskey tastings. Stop by the newly renovated Banque Club between 5-7pm for light bites, great art and w**es & whiskies! Then, finish up the night with dinner in the Union Grille and some time by the firepits on the patio!

Aaron Myers will join us for the w**e pairing dinner on Saturday, walking us through his Red Mountain, Washington w**es...he's originally from just down the road in Big Sandy, so we're particularly excited to have him out for this event!

"A native of Big Sandy, Montana, Aaron Myers found his way into the w**e world through an unlikely combination of music, love, and a little fate. While performing in the Tri-Cities as a professional musician, he met his future wife, Ashley- whose Red Mountain roots run deep.
In 2020, the two took the reins of a family property, originally a horse ranch purchased by Ashley’s grandmother in 2000. Together, they have transformed the estate into Aviam Cellars, a micro-boutique vineyard and w**ery dedicated to crafting distinctive, small-production w**es. With an emphasis on balance, texture, and elegance, Aaron and Ashley’s w**es reflect the intensity and grace of Red Mountain, the place they call home."

This historic convoy will be stopping in historic Fort Benton tomorrow!

A Military Vehicle Preservation Association convoy is driving through Montana this week and plans to make a stop in Fort Benton on Saturday, Aug. 1 around 11:30 a.m. (Arrival time is a rough estimate.)
They will be parked along Front Street and plan to take a lunch break at Old Fort Park before heading on to Great Falls. They have 40-50 retired military vehicles in their convoy. They expect to be in Fort Benton for around 90 minutes and the public is welcome to come check it out.

Looks like we've got us a convoy!

Somewhere on ND1804 between Riverdale and Tioga, ND.
