Kate Frey, the Sales & Event Director at the incredible Duportail House in Chesterbrook, shared with us her two guilty pleasures which are as beautiful a marriage as one that occurs at Duportail House.
Maryland Crabs & Victory Beer! Her favorite haunt is Cantlers in Annapolis for the super fresh & perfectly seasoned Cheasapeake Bay crabs. The winner of Chesapeake Bay Magazine Best Crabs 2009 and featured in many articles, they season their crabs with a special house blend that can intruige even the most diificult taste buds. Combine those with any of the great beers & ales from Victory Brewing and you have a marriage made in heaven or at least Duportail. With 18 beers currently on the list and a development program that is always seeking to be a leader, they are the perfect match for so many foods. From the "Menacingly Delicious" Hop Devil made with whole American Hop flowers to the "Seductively Smooth" Festbier, there is one for every taste & style.
Kate loves the strong & rich flavors that compliment the spicy flavors of crabs. If you are not familiar with Duportail House, you need to explore this incredible venue for your next special event. The historic home which pre-dates Geoerge Washingtons encampment at Valley Forge features incredible grounds, beautiful fireplaces, and a site rich in charm and history. It is minutes from Routes 202, 422, 76 & 476 making it accessible from all directions. In addition, it is convenient to the many hotels of the Valley Forge area. Provence Catering would be happy to introduce you or assist you in planning your next special event at Duportail House.
