A Guided Evening Through Burgundy | Pomeroy Wine Dinner
Join us at Pomeroy for A Guided Evening Through Burgundy, an intimate wine dinner exploring the celebrated wines and storied terroir of one of France’s most revered wine regions.
The evening begins with a welcome pour of Domaine Laroche Chablis before unfolding over a thoughtfully composed five-course dinner, with each course paired with a distinctive Burgundy wine. Guests will be guided through a progression from the crisp, mineral-driven Chardonnays of Chablis and Mâcon to the elegant Pinot Noirs of Mercurey and Nuits-Saint-Georges.
Throughout the evening, discover the producers, places and traditions behind each bottle while experiencing how Burgundy’s unique terroir comes to life through wine and food.
