May is here, and there is no better way to celebrate the wonderful weather than to head to Chaddsford Winery. All month long, Chaddsford is hosting fantastic events that are perfect for a day out with the gang. Check out what’s on the schedule below:
The Vintner’s Table (May 4 & 5)
The Vintner’s Table is an intimate, educational wine pairing dinner showcasing premium Chaddsford wines alongside a creative, five-course meal. This month, The Vintner’s Table features a delicious menu prepared by Birchtree Catering. Whether you’re a wine rookie or a veteran connoisseur, take a seat at the table to explore a range of wine styles in the context of a freshly prepared, seasonally inspired meal. 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 will provide interesting and practical wine-and-food guidance throughout the evening, while customizing the conversation to meet the personal interests of the group. Tickets are $75 per person.
Cupcakes with Mom (May 6, 7, 12, 13 & 14)
Give Mom what she really wants this Mother’s Day—cupcakes and wine! This seasonal, sit-down pairing will feature four gourmet mini cupcakes from The Sweetest Rose, paired alongside your favorite, flavorful Chaddsford wines. Tickets are $20 per person and various seating times are available.
Sauvignon Blanc Release (May 13)
Join Chaddsford Winery on May 13 for free samples of this lively, grassy and crisp white wine, showcasing notes of lime zest and melon. This is Chaddsford Winery’s first foray into the world of Sauvignon Blanc. The Phyllodelphia food truck will be onsite for the day, and Sam Capolongo will be playing live music from 12–3 p.m.
Spring Food Truck Competition (May 20 & 21)
Food trucks are taking over Chaddsford for a weekend-long throwdown, and you get to be the judge! Explore a wide-variety of food truck fare, sip locally produced wine and enjoy live music. Admission is free and all wine and food purchases are pay-as-you-go. Each visitor will receive one ticket to vote for his or her favorite truck, and a winner will be announced at the end of each day. Don’t forget to treat yourself to a wine tasting experience—either the Traditional Tasting ($10) featuring tried-and-true Chaddsford favorites or a Reserve Tasting ($20) showcasing limited-release, small-batch wines paired with artisanal treats.
