Join us for the next chapter in our Winemaker Dinner Series—an exclusive evening featuring the wines of Woodbrook Farm Vineyards with special guest Vaughan Jenkins, Co-Owner and Head Winemaker, Michael Heny.

Located near historic James Madison’s Montpelier, Woodbrook Farm Vineyard is a family-owned and operated vineyard rooted in generations of Virginia farming and Thoroughbred racing history. Its Training Barn Tasting Room, once part of a thriving racehorse training facility, now welcomes guests to experience thoughtfully crafted Virginia wines against panoramic views of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Working alongside the team at Michael Shaps Wineworks, Woodbrook Farm produces artisanal, small-production wines that celebrate varietal expression, vintage, and the distinctive character of Virginia's land. Their 2024 Petit Manseng was selected for the 2026 Virginia Governor's Cup Case, one of just twelve wines chosen from more than 670 entries statewide.

Paired with a 5-course dinner by Executive Chef Leah Randolph, this intimate evening offers a refined exploration of craftsmanship, seasonality, and Sense of Place.
