Amuse-Bouche Pairing Tour

Amuse-Bouche Pairing Tour

Saturday, May 24, 11:30am & 1:30pm

Looking for a fun way to enjoy a Saturday afternoon or unwind with a loved one? Relax and share laughs as you enjoy our Amuse-Bouche Pairing Tour experience! If you are a Family Plan member, you may be familiar with our fun and mouth-watering pairings that you enjoy during our quarterly pick-up parties. (Not to mention the pairings you take home with you.) If you are unfamiliar with our Family Plan Wine Club, or the array of pairings that our club members enjoy, this immersive tour is now your chance! The very best pairings that have been featured at past Family Plan pick-up parties have become the inspiration behind these “amuse-bouche” creations and are now being shared with the public through these unique monthly tours. Each tour will take place on one select Saturday in February-May, and will be offered at 11:30am and 1:30pm, with a 20-person capacity.

So, what is amuse-bouche, you may ask? Amuse-bouche is the cuisine category dedicated to, simply, “amuse the mouth.” This culinary technique entertains the palate while preparing a bite-sized start to a dining experience. Similar to hors d’œuvres, amuse-bouches are single offerings and generally depict a glimpse of a chef’s style. And although there may not be an entire entree awaiting you, there is plenty of delicious von Stiehl wine! 

This experience goes beyond just a regular tour of recollecting dates, names, and brick walls. During this exploration, our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide will share the history of the winery, education about our production process, (and perhaps a few ghost stories), but they will also share a fine-dining experience that will stimulate your appetite for a continued afternoon out on the town. Part of what makes these five “amuse-bouche” food and wine offerings so special is that all have been hand-selected by our head winemaker, Aric, as well as our wine club concierge, Jenny. Science, experience, and pure enjoyment have gone into each of the five pairings that will be showcased during these tours. Each pairing will be used to awaken the palate while preparing you for the next step throughout our entire property. Our tour will begin at the winery and continue through our production facility, showcasing pairings within our Barrel Room, Bottling Room, and Tank Room. Upon each stop, you will enjoy a small bite that is paired with big flavors and interesting facts about the inner workings of von Stiehl. You will then be directed back to the winery to view and taste in our historic cellars before enjoying your last pairing within either our tasting room or our upstairs lounge.

This amuse-bouche tour showcases our unique wine style, our love of food and ingenuity, and a new approach to our nostalgic history. 

There are so many reasons to treat ourselves, stop into the winery and let us be a part of yours. Share this experience with a loved one and purchase your ticket(s) today!
