DINNER IN THE VINEYARD SERIES
Winter Edition: The Winemaker’s Den
A Michelin-Trained Chef. Unreleased Wines. One Night Only.
This is the kind of dinner you’d expect to find in New York City or Napa Valley, not Rochester. But on February 14th, we’re bringing it to the Finger Lakes.
Chef Tony trained at Eleven Madison Park, one of the most celebrated restaurants in the world. He’s cooked for Google, Apple, and Facebook in Silicon Valley. Now he’s building a five-course menu just for this evening, alongside Sous Chef David (Georges at the Cove), using techniques and flavors pulled from some of the best kitchens in the country.
You’ll be seated in our Winemaker’s Den, surrounded by tanks and barrels, candlelight, and wines that aren’t available anywhere else.
The Wines
Includes two gold medal wines, a never-released oak-aged Grüner Veltliner, and a custom red blend made just for this evening.
- Heartbeat Rosé – Gold medal, 94 points. Award-winning and one of our finest.
- Let’s See Where This Goes – Gold medal small-batch Riesling. We only made 20 cases. Typically reserved for club members only.
- Oak-Aged Grüner Veltliner – We made one barrel. It’s never been released, and this may be the only chance to try it.
- Curated Red Blend – Our head winemaker is leveraging his 15+ years of experience to create a magnificent red blend specifically to pair with the Beef Wellington. This wine won’t be bottled and is being made just for this dinner.

Why This Dinner
There aren’t many places in Rochester (if any) where you can sit down to a five-course wine dinner in an actual cellar, with wines made specifically for the meal, prepared by a chef with Michelin-star training. We don’t do this often. When we do, it sells out.
If you’re looking for a way to make February 14th memorable, this is it. Not another prix fixe menu at a crowded restaurant. Something you’ll actually talk about.

About the Dinner in the Vineyard Series
Dinner in the Vineyard is something we do two to three times a year at 20 Deep Winery. It’s an opportunity for us to collaborate with local chefs and bring their food to a small group of guests in a setting you can’t find anywhere else. If you’re a chef and interested in collaborating with us, we’d love to hear from you. Text 585-204-7953 or email Kristy@20DeepWinery.com.
