Thursday, September 21:

Vincent Giradin

Our first dinner will explore the wines of Maison Vincent Girardin. Located in the iconic village of Meursault, Maison Giradin sources grapes from many of the most iconic vineyards in the Cote d’Or. Their wine making philosophy is simple: quality begins and ends in the vineyard and vinification should be as minimal as possible to accentuate terroir. Please join us for this masterclass of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir transparency.

Thursday, October 26:

Hamilton Russell

Join us as Olive Hamilton Russell herself leads us through her iconic Pinot Noirs and Chardonnays from Oregon and South Africa. The Willamette Valley has already reached world-renowned fame for their earthy renditions of Pinot Noir and electric Chardonnays but few are aware that the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley in South Africa’s Western Cape checks all the boxes for benchmark expressions of those grapes. This dinner will be a thrilling comparative tasting of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from both ends of the globe.

Thursday, November 30:

Domaine de Beaurenard

Explore the South of France with us as we dive into the historic Châteauneuf -du-Pape estate of Domaine Beaurenard. Eight generations have helmed this great estate. All wines are Esocert Organic Certified and Demeter Biodynamic Certified. Dive into benchmark examples of traditional, elegant expressions of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and its surrounding appellations.

Thursday, December 21:

Bruno Paillard Champagne Dinner

Get ready to celebrate the New Year a bit early with our ode to Champagne. Four courses paired with unique expressions of Bruno Paillard’s exquisite champagnes. Joining us will be Bobby Conroy formally the sommelier at The Jefferson in Washington DC, Benu in San Francisco, Clocktower in New York to name a few. A night that will sparkle in your memory for years to come!

Just as we change with the shifting of the seasons, so do our fauna, who search for new homes with the arrival of fall. Cape May is home to two of the most magical migrations in North America - the iconic Monarch butterfly and a multitude of birds who make this their home. Known for its location in the Atlantic Flyway, a migratory route along the Eastern Seaboard, New Jersey is one of the most renown states for bird watching.

We'll welcome you to the Virginia Hotel with a round of wine on the house and breakfast each morning of your stay. In addition, we will get you to where you need to be to experience these one-of-a-kind migrations.

Included in this package:

• Part 1: Migrating Monarchs, Tuesday 2:00pm - 3:30pm
• Meet at the Nature Center of Cape May to learn all about the fascinating life cycle and migratory journey of the Monarch butterfly. See how the butterflies are tagged for research and explore the data collected by the Monarch Monitoring Project. Walk through our wildlife garden to observe insect-benefiting native plants including different species of milkweed. We will also be looking for migrating dragonflies and other species of butterflies and moths.
• Part 2: Birds Abound, Wednesday 10:00 am - 12:30pm
• Meet at Cape May Point State park for a morning of birding. We will walk the trails through different habitats to observe songbirds, waterfowl, and much more. Then we will visit the hawkwatch platform, where the Cape May Bird Observatory has been counting migrating raptors since 1976. We will provide binoculars and teach the basics of bird identification in one of the best fall birding spots in North America.
• Deluxe Overnight Accommodations at The Virginia Hotel
• A Welcome Glass of Wine in The Ebbitt Room
