Wöchentliche Veranstaltungen in den Wintermonaten, von Langlauf-Kursen bis hin zum speziellen Schmankerl-Abend gibt es jeden Tag etwas Anderes zu entdecken
I know what it's getting at but can't think of a way to express it, so it sounds right for a marketing flyer!

Or just leave out the dinners bit...an evening of discovering delicacies/delicious discovery

: "an evening of delicious discovery"--is this an erotic retreat? (I had assumed they meant culinary "Schmankerl")

Goodness! I am SO naive, never though of that.

Björn Vrooman
: Schmankerl = delicacies; so all testing, trying, and sampling is not part of the word.

To discover new things (etwas Anderes entdecken), you have to sample them.

gourmet evening
Schmankerl is the Bavarian word for delicacy. In English you would not say delicacy evening, so gourmet evening or culinary evening would be the best fit.
Discussion
"besonderer Leckerbissen" (Duden)
"heute gilt er als Ausdruck für insbesondere regionale Delikatessen oder Leckerbissen" (Wiki)
It's about local delicacies - funnily enough, that may even be Schnitzel:

Not sure why you doubled up on "entdecken" in your sentence, Ramey (discover/offer sth new). How about this adaptation (removing the "courses" bit as well, not sure it's needed):
During the winter months, weekly events will let you explore something new every day - from cross-country skiing to dinners offering regional delicacies.
