If you have not yet been to Homer to wine-n-dine at Land’s End Resort, the “Uncorked” dinner is a great place to do it.

 

You know Land’s End, right? Out at the end of the Homer Spit, the resort boasts a spa, some great beachfront rooms–even a beachfront hot tub!

 

Here’s another tip: take advantage of Era Aviation’s web specials to fly down from Anchorage for dinner. Here’s the menu from Chef Maggie for the May 2 dinner (the last “Uncorked” dinner until October):
