Wine. Dine. Fine!

Fine Dining, Fine Wine-ing, and Fine Enjoying! If you've already enjoyed Hudson-Chatham's wines in the tasting room on a regular visit, here's a way to experience them on a whole other level - paired to a unique menu created in collaboration with a first-class local chef!   We take pride in our wines, and we love to talk about what makes them special. So much of that is the experience of sharing them with others over a delicious meal. We started our winery dinners over a year ago as a way to set the stage for the most thorough enjoyment of our wines. It's an evening of talking in-depth with owners Carlo and Dominique about how the wines are made and why; sources of flavor; trying different vintages; comparing and contrasting a white and a red with the same dish. It's a culinary safari - done in style.   The dinners are limited to 16 guests. A large table is set with fine china, silver, candles and flowers in the tasting room, and dinner is served. We pair the wines with five courses. The chefs we invite to cook for our guests are exceptional - if we do say so ourselves! Like us, they take tremendous pride in the ingredients they use, the preparation, and the presentation of each of their dishes. If we've whetted your appetite for a one-of-a-kind gourmet experience, make reservations to attend a dinner soon. More information follows. See you at the winery!
