July 26th: Wine Dinner with James Dare
of Warwick Estate
Fearrington Wine Director Maximilian Kast welcomes Warwick Estate
Export Director James Dare for a gourmet wine dinner. Located on a
farm in South Africa that dates back to 1792, the Warwick Estate has
been in the Ratcliffe family since 1964. When they purchased it
there was not a single vine on the property. They started by
planting Cabernet Sauvignon, which produced great grapes, which were
soon in demand from area wineries. Norma Ratcliffe became more and
more interested wine and began studying it. By 1982 the first
Warwick vintage was released - it was a Cabernet Sauvignon. Now
their portfolio includes a Sauvignon Blanc, Pinotage, and two Red
Blends, one the Estate Reserve being one of the most highly regarded
Bordeaux Blends in the world. James Dare will join guests in
exploring some of Warwick's exceptional wines, accompanied by the
gourmet cuisine of Fearrington House Executive Chef Colin Bedford.

October 18th:
Wine Dinner with Serge Hochar of Chateau Musar
On Sunday, October 18th, Fearrington Wine Director Maximilian
Kast is pleased to welcome Serge Hochar of Chateau Musar. One of the
finest wineries in the world, Chateau Musar is located in the Bekaa
Valley of Lebanon. Started in 1930 by Gaston Hochar in the cellars
of a 17th century castle, Chateau Musar has won accolades from every
section of the international wine trade. Now run by Gaston's sons
Serge and Ronald Hochar, the winery has added to those accolades
under their leadership. Their most famous wine is the Chateau Musar
Rouge, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carignan, and Cinsault, which
is released only after 7 years of aging. It is a profound wine with
none other in the world quite like it. The winery also produces
exotic white wines from indigenous Lebanese grape varietals which
also have great aging potential. Serge Hochar will be joining us for
a rare and unique dinner, sampling Chateau Musar's wines from as far
back as the 1960s, highlighted by a gourmet multi-course menu
created by Fearrington Executive Chef Colin Bedford. $175 per
guest, excludes tax and gratuity. Reservations required. Call (919)
