Did you ever close your eyes and found yourself reminiscing about the “good old days” when the world felt bigger, and life was simpler, when kids played in the streets until dark, and more butter was better?

Our Pastry Chef, Katherine King, will bring back to life a dessert classic with origins in the 17th and 18th centuries, and make a Floating Island, a dessert that was brought back to popularity, with the help of Julia Childs, in the 1960’s.

2023-10-25 19:00 - 21:30 | Pluckemin Inn, 359 Route 206 South & Pluckemin Way, Bedminster, NJ, 07921, United States
Last year we went on a tour of the Italian hillsides and valleys lesser known to the average wine drinker. We introduced the guests who joined us that evening to new growing regions they have not heard of previously, and to some new grape varietals. And the response was overwhelmingly positive. So much so, that we decided to take another trip to Italy, and explore some more lesser know wines from this land that we all associate with great food and wine.
Expect to taste new grape varietals such as Pigato from Liguria, Falanghina from Campania and more.
So, join us on Wednesday, October 25th, and explore an array of hidden gems from across Italy. Sommelier Sean Price has selected wines that display the true terroir of their respective regions, and are incredibly food friendly, and Executive Chef Jason Ramos has created a menu to perfectly pair with those wines.

Winemaker Dinner with Selbach-Oster
2023-11-09 19:00 - 21:30
Join us on Thursday, November 9th, as we welcome Johannes & Barbara Selbach of Germany’s renowned Selbach-Oster.
Johannes and Barbara, alongside their son, Sebastian, manage their vineyards and winery with passion and respect for the estate’s long held traditions.
Most of the Selbach-Oster vineyards are located on steep, contiguous slopes that represent some of the most prestigious sites in all of the Middle Mosel. In fact, 85% of the Selbach’s vines are planted on steep slopes.
Johannes will share with us his traditionalist, hands-off manner of winemaking, that focuses on meticulous work in their organic and sustainably farmed vineyards with the aim to produce and bring home perfect fruit that will later be transformed to world class wine.
We will be serving seven (7) different wines from their vineyards and while most of them are Rieslings, we will also taste a sparkling wine using a blend of Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Meunier and one red wine, a 100% Pinot Noir (aka Spatburgunder) during this five course dinner.

Truffle Dinner
2024-01-18 19:00 - 21:30
If you ever had a truffle (black or white) you know that there is something magical about them. So much so, that ancient Romans thought they are created when lightning strikes the damp forest soil. And while we now know that these tubers are formed underground in the wild forests of Italy and France (sometimes overnight!) their magic is still very real.
These rare nuggets are nearly impossible to farm, and as such come at a hefty price. Black truffles cost upwards of $1,000 a pound, and white truffles reach heights of over $2,500 a pound.
So join us as we celebrate these incredible tubers, in a dinner all about truffles. Executive Chef Jason Ramos has created a menu that will make your mouth water, and your taste buds dance.
Each course will be carefully paired with the perfect glass of wine, selected by sommelier Sean Price.
Call 908.658.9292 today to secure your reservation.
