If you're looking for a special night out, Wine Dinner Parties at Colby Hill Inn have been a favorite experience of guests here since 2016. Since then, we have held over 60 wine dinners! In planning the menu and wine selections, we feature a wine region or food region of the world, a specific vineyard, or a special topic. At each dinner, we include a wine expert, or a winemaker, in addition to Chef Barnes who explains the food preparation and why he made his food choices in pairing the wines. During May through October, the events are generally held outdoors or in the barn and our Event Designer creates a very memorable, stylized dinner scene for the evening.
As always, the menu will also be local farm-to-table driven. Our Chef tries to accommodate your needs. Menu modifications for dietary restrictions may be made upon confirmation of your reservation. The bar will serve cocktails prior to dinner (one round included in the dinner rate). Doors open at 6:00 pm to socially distance co-mingle with other guests. We sit for dinner at 6:30 p.m. at private tables or communal tables - please indicate in advance if you prefer a private table.
Rooms will be discounted by 10% for Winner Dinner Weekend two-night stays.
