Your refined palate deserves nothing less!
Wine and Food Pairing
This experience includes a curated wine tasting of everything Bernardus has to offer. We personally curate our wine offering while pairing them specifically with selected cheeses, meats and accompaniments. Our intention is to open your imagination to the world of wine and food.
"We are not just talking about food and wine.... We are talking about old world and new world culture, the history of wine and food, how we preserve and remember old world tradition and flavors with the berth of new world wine."- Wine Educator, Stephen Giffith
Cost is $150.00 plus 20% gratuity per person. We ask for a maximum of 6 guests. Tastings can begin between 11:00 and 2:00 between Tuesday and Saturday.
