Farm-to-Table Wine Dinner Series Starts Saturday

There are still seats available for the first in a series of six farm-to-table wine dinners hosted by ConsciousWine and held at bucolic locations throughout Westchester and Fairfield County this fall.

The dinners promote local growers and raise awareness of small-scale wineries that are using sustainable practices, according to organizers.

The first will be held at Hilltop Hanover Farm in Yorktown on Sept. 29 at 8 p.m.

Each meal is created and prepared by acclaimed chef Lesley Sutter (whose beloved Mount Kisco restaurant, The Flying Pig, closed last January) and each evening spotlights an organic, biodynamic winery selected by ConsciousWine’s founding partners, Vinny Liscio and Jeffrey Weissler.  Shelley Smedberg, also from The Flying Pig, is the pastry chef.

There will be four to five courses (a round of appetizers, three main courses – including a vegetarian course - and a dessert course) paired with three wines.

In addition to featuring beautiful, bucolic locations, local farms and farmers, and small-scale wineries, each dinner has a charitable partner that will receive a portion of the evening’s proceeds.

Ticket prices vary per event based on location, menu, and wines.  Group discounts are available; please call ConsciousWine at 914-248-5339 to inquire.
