The fall colors are starting to put on their show. And up here on the mountain, we’re putting on a show of our own! On November 7th, we’ve planned a truly perfect fall wine dinner right here on the mountain to celebrate the 2026 vintage.

You’ll arrive and enjoy sunset light over the Blue Ridge over appetizers, and a glass of Brut of course!

Then we’ll gather at the table, bathed in candlelight. The menu is an ode to fall flavors, and celebrates the unique character of each of our wines. Scroll down to see the full menu, crafted for us by Chef Kaitlyn Kirkland of Copper & Lace Catering.

The tasting room will be all dressed up for the occasion. We’ll be dressed up, too! Cocktail attire is suggested.
