wine-fest-2

There will be tasting locations outside in the vineyards (weather permitting), providing you with an opportunity to visit the most picturesque spots on the farm while you taste a selection of our wines in the vineyard where they originated. The People Hauler (Wagon) will be continuously transporting participants from the winery to the vineyard tasting sites, or you can enjoy a leisurely 10 minute stroll from the winery to the vineyard.

With your entry you'll receive a souvenir Fenn Valley logo wineglass for tasting specially selected wines, tasting tickets or a ticket for a glass of wine of your choice. Tables will be available should you wish to linger over a glass of wine and visit with family and friends. Or bring your own lawn chairs or blanket.]]>Girl's Afternoon OutMay2012-03-24T01:34:57-04:00http://www.fennvalley.com/blog/events_files/cdd1fc35d05a2280cca20dbd5e1333a2-12.html#unique-entry-id-12http://www.fennvalley.com/blog/events_files/cdd1fc35d05a2280cca20dbd5e1333a2-12.html#unique-entry-id-12

Culinary Journey to Exotic Brazil



dinnercouple

Each year we host a winemaker’s dinner featuring the cuisine of some foreign land, and this year we have chosen Brazil as our destination.

The dinner will be a five-course meal with representative foods from various regions throughout Brazil, which will be paired with a selection of Fenn Valley wines. Unlike the United States where there is little regional food diversity, Brazil has many foods that are unique to each of the 26 states and we will be sampling some of the more popular foods from the southeastern region of Brazil.]]>Wine and Food Pairings Tasting - Weekends in MarchMarch2012-03-25T02:26:00-04:00http://www.fennvalley.com/blog/events_files/6c3a7934fc418020c4b09f24c73d4138-4.html#unique-entry-id-4http://www.fennvalley.com/blog/events_files/6c3a7934fc418020c4b09f24c73d4138-4.html#unique-entry-id-4

Wine and Food Pairings Tasting

With all of the interest in wine and food pairing that we hear from our fans and customers, we instituted the Wine & Food Pairing Weekends several years ago. During this event, we try to unravel some of the mysteries that seemingly surround a successful wine and food pairing, hopefully helping you understand why some wines pair better with certain foods than others. On top of that, we are giving you a sneak peek at some of the wines that will be released during the coming summer, including two red wines from the fabulous 2010 vintage.]]>January 21st- 13th Annual Chili CookoffJanuary2012-03-21T02:12:00-04:00http://www.fennvalley.com/blog/events_files/91f5049ff7939f88212ec4a6833c7567-3.html#unique-entry-id-3http://www.fennvalley.com/blog/events_files/91f5049ff7939f88212ec4a6833c7567-3.html#unique-entry-id-3
