Brancaia Wine Dinner
October 16 2024 | 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM4484 NJ-27, Kingston, NJ 08528
Brancaia was founded in 1981 in Castellina in Chianti by Barbara Widmer’s parents, the Swiss couple Bruno and Brigitte, who in 1998 entrusted their daughter with its operation. She has brought the estate consistent acclaim through powerful blends and principled winemaking. Barbara sees organic viticulture as a moral imperative, but this is as much about making better wines as it is for the betterment of the planet. She believes that the fruit is more authentic, more of their place, and more connected to the land. In that way – and somewhat paradoxically – they have become more of an extension of the winemaker, too.
Join us for a multi coursed wine-paired dinner hosted by Barbara Widmer as she shares her stories and her meticulous wine making through each bottle.
