Estate Dinner & May Wine Release - A Taste of Germany
featuring Guest Chef Edward Work

In Germany, the coming of spring is celebrated with Maypoles, dancing, and May Wine - which is either a white wine (often Riesling or Vidal) or white wine punch made with champagne, sweet woodruff, and strawberries.  Join us at Johnson Estate to celebrate the release of our own special May Wine.  This limited vintage sparkling white Vidal wine is flavored with sweet woodruff or "Waldmeister", as it is called in Germany.

The evening starts with hors d'oeuvres in the Tasting Room, followed by a multi-course dinner and wine pairings in the warehouse prepared by Executive Chef, Edward Work of the Heirloom Restaurant (Athenaeum Hotel at Chautauqua Institution) (in photograph on the left).

Here is Chef Edward's menu for our special spring dinner.  Wine pairings to come!  Reservations are required and seatings limited to 40 people.  $65/person 

We are sorry, but this event is now SOLD OUT. 

We hope that you might consider our
