Gather around the Dinner Table with Farm2ChefsTable to showcase the Spring Bounty of the Hudson Valley with Rose Hill Farm Wine and Cider!
Farm2ChefsTable is partnering up with Rose Hill Farm to bring a unique Cider and Wine Dinner to the Hudson Valley this Spring. The menu (scroll below!) is designed with pairings by Rose Hill Farm, a low-intervention wine and cider producer that showcases an honest expression of the Hudson Valley and a natural extension of their holistic orchard practices.
The optional wine and cider pairing is not included in the dinner ticket price and can be purchased separately. A non-alcoholic pairing, including specialty mocktails, is also available. Rose Hill Farm will also be operating their full bar menu, available a la carte. Please note all Rose Hill Farm wine and cider dinner pairings are gluten free and crafted without fining agents or added sulfites.

Chronogram writer Emma Cariello writes:
Chef Nicholas Leiss has been attracted to the kitchen since he was a small child on a stepstool cooking beside his grandmother. His passion for cooking led him to the Hudson Valley’s Culinary Institute of America. After graduating in 2010, Leiss cooked at restaurants all over the world from Denmark to Manhattan. While working at Michelin-rated establishments in New York City, like Gunter Seeger and the now-closed Colicchio & Sons, Leiss continued to live upstate. And more and more, he noticed the Hudson Valley’s bounty creeping into Manhattan kitchens. He took to calling the Hudson Valley the “bigger apple,” for this abundance of farm-fresh produce, dairy, and meat. “We have foragers, farmers, and artisans all right here. Let’s highlight that!”
