Enjoy The Tastes Of Alpine Traditions

Located at the base of the Valley Express, inside the Blue Mountain Inn, The Pottery Alpine Restaurant is a fixture of the Blue Mountain experience. Drawing inspiration from Jozo’s entrepreneurial spirit and his love for the mountains, the restaurant’s design echoes the rustic charm of Alpine lodges.

The menu at The Pottery Alpine Restaurant showcases a fusion of the flavours and harvests of the Georgian Bay region with the flavours of Jozo’s ancestral home in Eastern Europe. Whether you’re looking for an intimate dining experience, or bringing together a large gathering, come in and enjoy delicious menu items including seared scallop risotto or the classic alpine schnitzel.

Kings Wharf Theatre presents ‘Grease’… is the word
Aug 13 @ 12:00 pm – 4:30 pm
Grease is the word as the Broadway phenomenon that inspired one of the most successful movie musicals of all time hits the stage. Get out your leather jackets, pull on your bobby socks, and get ready to hand jive as the slick Burger Palace Boys and sassy Pink Ladies enter their senior year at Rydell High in 1959.

Over the summer, popular tough guy Danny Zuko has a secret romance with sweet new girl Sandy Dumbrowski. But now that they are back to school and confronted with cliques and peer pressure, will their summer dreams be ripped at the seams?

Featuring unforgettable mega-hit songs like “You’re The One That I Want,” “Hopelessly Devoted To You,” “Summer Nights,” “Greased Lightnin’,” “Beauty School Dropout,” “Sandy,” “We Go Together,” and many more, Grease is an ‘electrifyin’ musical extravaganza that will make you want to stand up and shout, “A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop A-wop-bam-boom!”

Wednesday, August 13, 2025. Members can plan a picnic prior to the 2:00 pm performance.
