Gervasi Vineyard Resort & Spa

At Gervasi Vineyard Resort & Spa in Canton, meeting attendees find themselves transported from traditional conference rooms to the feel of the Tuscan countryside, where Mediterranean-style architecture, picturesque grounds and Italian-inspired dishes form an experience that goes beyond your typical meeting.  

Corporate resort executive chef Ryan Bowen oversees food for the restaurants and on-site event venues at Gervasi’s main property, focusing on Italian-inspired dishes and fresh, high-quality ingredients. 

“We always want to give guests a world-class experience,” Bowen says. “We have so much to offer on the property.”

Breakfast, lunch and dinner options can fit any gathering, from corporate meetings to overnight retreats. Dinners provide the most immersive experience, featuring signature entrees like chicken piccata, Tuscan beef short rib and grilled lamb. Artful presentation abounds, and food stations like the antipasto table serve as a beautiful centerpiece for any event. 

Daytime meetings are fueled by house-made pizzas, as well as wraps, sandwiches and salads. For overnight guests, in-room breakfasts are an attendee favorite and feature a choice of frittata, oatmeal or parfait served with fruit and pastries made by the in-house pastry team. The Still House — a coffeehouse by day and cocktail lounge by night — represents another of the resort’s food and drink experiences. 1700 55th St. NE, Canton 44721, 330-497-1000, gervasivineyard.com
