The Reserve Presents: Founders Dinner

  • The Reserve at Bluemont Vineyard 18755 Foggy Bottom Road Bluemont, VA, 20135 United States (map)
 

September 23, 2023 at 6:30 PM

 

 Expansive views of the Blue Ridge mountains will set the scene as we gather around the communal farm table to share a meal and a curated lineup of wine. Each course invites you to step into the world of our founders and sip through their favorite wines. Each vintage brings a story, giving you a glimpse beyond the label and into the heart and soul of our family farm and vineyard. You’ll hear about our triumphs, missteps and funny stories about the early years of being in business from members of the Zurschmeide Family and our team. This exclusive event combines storytelling, laughter, culinary delights and of course, wine. 

Dinner will feature local farm fresh ingredients and each course will have been thoughtfully paired with one of our estate wines. 

Reservations are available for $125.00 per guest, plus tax and a 20% gratuity.
