Winemaker's Tasting, Wine Pairings and More at Haight Brown Vineyard in Litchfield

Haight Brown Vineyard located on Chestnut Hill Rd. in the heart of Litchfield is offering three classes in late March that are a perfect pick up for this early spring season.

On March 29 for example, Haight-Brown Vineyard is hosting a Winemaker's Tasting from noon to 1:30 p.m. in their Vine Room.  This "Exclusive Winemaker's Tasting" will be hosted by Jacques van der Vyver, the Vineyard's new winemaker. He will be pairing the vineyards's wines with sweet and savory food items. Jacques will share his knowledge on the taste, smell and ultimately the enjoyment of HBV's delicious wine. It's a chance to meet and spend time with Jacques and have an opportunity to learn about Haight Vineyard wines and ask all those questions you always wanted to ask! Cost: $25.00.

Looking ahead, on May 16 HBV is  hosting a presentation on the health benefits of Resveratol with Michelle J.

The health benefits of flavonoids, which are the bright pigments of red, blue, purple and yellow in fruits and vegetables, and a non - flavonoid found in red wine, resveratrol, will be discussed. This is inspiring information about the healing power of nature. Event is $25 and is from 7 – 9:00 p.m. and includes a glass of HBV wine.
