Proprietors Holli and John Todhunter are hosting a benefit for Operation Starfish Haiti Earthquake Relief on Saturday, May 1, 2010, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Three Fox Vineyards in Delaplane, Virginia.

The event will feature Chef Roland Mesnier, former White House Pastry Chef, noted author, and popular speaker. The Todhunters will offer fine wines for tasting and Chef Roland will present desserts popular with First Families. He will autograph his renowned cookbook, All The Presidents’ Pastries, and present an illustrated talk about his 25 years of service in the White House kitchen. Rev. Richard Martin, founder of Operation Starfish, and Jim McDaniel, representing Food For The Poor, Inc., will also be on hand.

At approximately 3 p.m. Fr. Martin will officiate at the “Blessing of the Vines,” an annual event that begins the prime growing season for the grapes.

The public is invited to visit the idyllic Three Fox Vineyards in the rolling Virginia countryside for a relaxing afternoon of picnicking, wine tasting, learning and entertainment. A portion of the proceeds from book and wine sales will go to Operation Starfish to support the work of Food For The Poor, Inc. in Haiti. Food For The Poor is providing food, medical care, shelter and reconstruction assistance to earthquake victims.
