The Ivy Inn Auction

Ivy Inn

Here is your chance to experience The Ivy Inn like you never have experienced it before, while helping to feed the area’s hungry. It’s The Charlottesville 29 Restaurant Auctions, presented by McGuireWoods. Along with all of the other restaurants in The Charlottesville 29, The Ivy Inn has created a signature experience available to whoever pledges the highest donation to The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. Thanks to the generosity of The Ivy Inn, the winning bid goes directly to the food bank, and each dollar donated is enough to provide four meals to the area’s hungry. So, a winning bid of, say, $10,000 would mean not just a wonderful meal for the winner and their guests, but also 40,000 more meals for the area’s hungry.

The Ivy Inn’s “Taverna” Experience for 20

Charlottesville’s favorite special occasion restaurant has created perhaps its most special occasion of all. The auction winner and nineteen of their guests will have the entire patio to themselves, which The Ivy Inn will transform into a one-time-only, pop-up Greek taverna. Chef Angelo Vangelopoulos, a two-time James Beard award semi-finalist, and his father, a talented Greek chef in his own right, will serve an enormous feast of traditional and modern Greek dishes, wines, and ouzo, with a wide variety of meats, seafood, and vegetables. “It will be a blast!” says Angelo.

Note: The auction winner will schedule the event at a mutually convenient time with the restaurant.

Bizou Auction

Bizou

Here is your chance to experience Bizou like you never have experienced it before, while helping to feed the area’s hungry. It’s The Charlottesville 29 Restaurant Auctions, presented by McGuireWoods. Along with all of the other restaurants in The Charlottesville 29, Bizou has created a signature experience available to whoever pledges the highest donation to The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank.  Bizou is generously donating the food and drink, which means the winning bid goes directly to the food bank. Each dollar donated is enough to provide four meals to the area’s hungry. So, a winning bid of, say, $1,000 would mean not just a wonderful meal for the winner and their guests, but also 4,000 more meals for the area’s hungry.

Sparkling Parisian Brunch for 10

With Bizou co-owner Tim Burgess from West Virginia and his partner Vincent Derquenne from France, the food at Bizou has long drawn on American influences, with a steady French backbone. For the auction winner and nine guests, Bizou will return to Derquenne’s roots with a classic Parisian brunch. Bizou is known for one of the best and most popular brunches in town, with crowds every Sunday. But, the auction winner will have no crowds at all as their venue will be the patio of Bang!, which they will have all to themselves. Their meal will begin with a patisserie assortment, a specialty of Derquenne, with plenty of champagne to go with it. “It’s not a party without champagne,” says Derquenne, who is one of Charlottesville’s most knowledgeable oenophiles, and will select all of the champagne and sparkling wines for the meal. Next, they will enjoy a three course meal of Parisian brunch classics, with more sparkling wines, like cerdon, brachetto d’acqui, and more. The meal will finish, of course, with more champagne. “It will be fun,” says Derquenne. “We will try to show guests a range of great sparkling wines with their meal.” It’s a sparkling Parisian brunch for 10.

Note: The winner will schedule the dinner on a mutually convenient Saturday or Sunday for Bizou.
