Chaddsford Winery is well known for hosting some of the best culinary events in the area. From Food Truck Festivals to Baconfest, Chaddsford consistently showcases its wine paired with tasty food and lots of fun.
One such not-to-miss event is the intimate and educational Vintner’s Table. Offered on the first Thursday and Friday of select months, the program features a variety of the area’s most celebrated chefs for a wine pairing dinner showcasing premium Chaddsford wines alongside a creative, five-course meal.
What makes The Vintner’s Table so special? Seating is purposefully limited to an 18-person, communal farm table in order to create a close-knit, welcoming environment for all guests. Chaddsford staff and featured chefs also provide interesting and practical wine-and-food guidance throughout the evening, while customizing the conversation to meet the personal interests of the group. Whether you’re a wine rookie or a veteran connoisseur, it’s always exciting to take a seat at the table and explore a range of wine styles in the context of a freshly prepared, seasonally inspired meal.
The next Vintner’s Table unfolds on Thursday, May 5, and Friday, May 6, at 6:30 p.m. May’s meal will be prepared by Philadelphia’s Birchtree Catering and features tastes of several wines that have not been released to the public yet.
