Pairing Dinners Built Around Our Wines

Chef-Curated Wine Pairing Dinners in Central NJ

Our monthly wine pairing dinners at Old York Cellars are seated, multi-course culinary experiences created to showcase estate-grown wines alongside seasonal cuisine. Hosted in Ringoes, New Jersey (Hunterdon County), these evening dinners take place in our cozy Vista Room overlooking the vineyard or amidst the vines under the Vineyard Tent during warmer months.

Each monthly menu begins with the wines—selecting exceptional vintages that deserve center stage. From there, Executive Chef José creates a custom multi-course menu designed specifically to complement each glass. Throughout the dinner, our wine team guides guests through every pairing, sharing tasting notes, winemaking context, and flavor dynamics in a relaxed, approachable atmosphere.

What to Expect at an Old York Cellars Pairing Dinner

  • Multi-course seated dinner with guided wine pairings
  • Vista Room (Fall/Winter) or Vineyard Tent (Spring/Summer) at Old York Cellars in Ringoes, NJ
  • A brand-new, chef-curated menu every month—crafted by Chef José using seasonal ingredients to complement the selected wine profile
  • An unhurried, elegant, and intimate setting—perfect for date nights, milestone celebrations, and special evenings out with friends
  • A complete evening dining experience focused on food, wine, and hospitality

It’s not a quick tasting flight, and it’s not a typical restaurant reservation. It is an authentic vineyard dining experience built around Old York Cellars wines—enjoyed at the table, surrounded by Hunterdon County vineyard views, with dishes created to elevate what’s in your glass.
