Mysterious wine event with unexpected guests #tasting #winery #wine

Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards - North Garden, VA
Soon after I do the two-hour wine-tasting experience, I'm getting hungry, so I want to get some food. What is that step like? When you come to the tasting room, every dish we serve along with our wines is part of our wine pairings. We don't do the traditional thing where you come in and do wine tasting and wine pairings. We have it set up with food, so every dish has one or maybe two wines that are specifically designed to be paired with that dish, to come to sort of like small plates, to come in with a small plate cuisine experience. And we have the equivalent of a chef's table, the vintner's table. You know, anywhere from eight people, up to 12 people. That can be four-course, or five-course that are paired with our wines. So it really presents a real-world example of how the cuisine in the wines parallels each other.
