Our menu offerings in our dining room are thoughtfully paired with our wines by the glass and our flights of wine. Our flights enable guests to sample a trio of wines, each glass containing a two ounce pour.  We offer a range of wines both traditional and new world, while maintaining a selection of 25 to 30 choices by the glass, as well as a rotating top fifty list of staff selections, favorites and reasonably priced bottles. We enjoy updating both lists seasonally, to accompany chef john russ’s menu selections.

The inn continues to host monthly wine dinners throughout the year, and will host our fifth wine weekend in May 2009. This event was so well received that we now hold two wine weekends each year, in late fall and early spring. Our wine club is also enjoying tremendous growth and popularity, with over 200 members who have joined. These members dine with us often, and enjoy benefits including quarterly wine tastings and hors d’oeuvres in the cooperage, a private tasting room attached to our wine cellar, as well as restaurant and bottle discounts in our dining room and lounge.

We also successfully maintain a series of bi-monthly wine classes for all levels of wine lovers. These classes, taught regularly by Bob Hill, CSW, informally cover a range of topics from basic knowledge of wine, wine making and component tasting, to varietal identifications of specific regions and wine characteristics. Classes have been well received by local clientele as well as our guests.

At the inn, we truly enjoy hosting these wine events as much as we enjoy bringing great things in bottles to our guests whenever we can. We sincerely hope to see you enjoying yourself and some of the great wines that we have been able to bring into the state and the Inn at Thorn Hill & Spa.
