A scrumptious multi-course dinner from Perfect Pair Hospitality, hosted in our Barrel Room.

Curated wine selections to complement each course.

Discussion of each wine from members of our winemaking team.

Morning Glory: 15° (feels like 3°) to begin the day along Seneca Lake in Geneva, NY. I am comforted by the sight of the sun—and realize that in just six short months it will be close to 90° with LOTS of boats on this gorgeous Finger Lake.
