Golden hour Soirée: only 2 days left to sign up!
…………………………
We invite you to enjoy 7 stations of delicious accoutrements, carefully paired with our estate-grown wines in the most stunning setting. Evenings on the knoll are our favorite and we feel there is no better compliment to a summer sunset than great food, great wine, and great company.
Each guest will get 2 servings from each station. In addition, there will be a bread bar with an assortment of made-from-scratch dips to choose from. We would describe this event as “heavy hors d’oeuvres”. It is not a seated dinner. Instead, we encourage you to eat, mingle and enjoy the evening.
Tentative Menu:
Station I: Gazpacho shots paired with 2022 Seyval Blanc
Station II: Blackberry and blue cheese crostinis with salted butter paired with 2022 Love, Virginia Rosé
Station III: Smoked mozzarella ravioli with mint pesto paired with 2021 Merlot
Station IV: Protein Station: Wood fired steak medallion with chimichurri OR cauliflower steak (by request) paired with ...to be determined
Station V: Prosciutto and fresh peach on a bamboo skewer paired with 2022 Chardonnay
Station VI: Stuffed warm date with chevre, black walnuts, black pepper, honey and sea salt paired with 2022 Petit Manseng
Station VII: Mini Lahmacun “pizzas” paired with 2022 Pinotage
plus Bread bar with onion dip, tzatziki dip and pimento cheese
When:
Saturday, August 9, 2025 from 6:30-8:30
Where:
The Tupelo House at Lovingston Winery
885 Freshwater Cove Ln. Lovingston, Virginia
RSVP Deadline:
To join, email by August 5th. Please be sure to specify if you would like to cauliflower steak as a substitute for the protein station. Due to the nature of this set-up, we will not be able to accommodate other dietary restrictions. This event is open to wine club first, then to the public if there are spots still open.
Price:
$75 per person
Includes 2 bites from each station with wine pairings and a bread bar
