A Tasting Event with Early Mountain Vineyards
Ahead of Thanksgiving, join us for a conversation with culinary scholar Tonya Hopkins and sommelier Lee Campbell for a tasting of five wines from Virginia's Early Mountain Vineyards, along with food history highlights from America's first colony, where many aspects of American fine dining and hospitality begin and begat the creation of a national cuisine.  Food samplings prepared by chef Heather Johnston of Brooklyn's Good Wine.

Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Early Mountain sits on land with a deep and rich history. The first landowner of the property was Revolutionary War veteran, Lieutenant Joseph Early, who served under General George Washington at Valley Forge. After Earlys death, Washington later visited the farm, remarking in his journal about the warm hospitality provided by Earlys family.  In 2005, the first vineyard was planted on the site, and in 2016, Early Mountain Vineyards was voted the number one tasting room in the nation by USA Today.rds was voted the number one tasting room in the nation by USA Today.
