Upcoming Events!


Thursday - August 6th 

 

Oysters and Bubbly

 

Fresh harvested local oysters paired with our bubbly. Full menu is also available for those who would rather watch than participate.

 

Oysters have always been a classic pairing with sparkling wine. Join us for an evening of bubbles and oysters! Starting at 6:00 pm with the last seating at 8:00 pm. Discover why people say "if it grows together, it goes together" because there is something amazing about the bubbles from our New Hampshire wine when it's paired with seafood from New England!

 

Beverages will be added at the time of the meal so you can choose if you'd like to have a 3, 6 or 9 ounce pour to pair.

 

**Average Price for the event has been set at $50 but that will depend on your order** Please note that the meal price does not include tax, tip or beverages.

 

Reservations required!

Monday - August 10th 

 

Winemaker Monday with NOK Vino

  

An evening of amazing conversation with one of New England's up & coming winemakers, Nico Kimberly of NOK Vino!

Reservations are for 6:00 with the event starting right at 6:30 to give ample time for this wine educational event for attendees to ask questions, drink through some of the best organically farmed and sustainable vineyards throughout the northeast and find out the secret to being recognized by Wine Enthusiast magazine.

At the Vineyard in Derry

 

Harvest Starts in August

 

August is the best month to visit the vineyard. Grapes are starting to ripen, and we're mowing down the cover crops to make way for hand harvesting. The smell of grapes lifts into the air.

 

We always offer up the ability to help with harvest to our customers.

 

Since this is so dependent on the weather, we only have approximate target dates for the grape harvest. Historically, Brianna harvest starts the third weekend in August, but this year may be the last weekend in August. The number of sunny vs rainy days will determine that.

 

We plan on making this an event with catered food and some surprises that I'll talk about soon.

 

The Brianna photo below was taken today (4AUG2026).
