Eat & Drink
Our Wine Tavern experiences introduce you to the fleeting influences that shape Hiyu.
Deeply seasonal dishes featuring ingredients grown or foraged at Hiyu dialogue with our current releases, inspiring conversation, conviviality, and connection.
The emergence into Spring dramatically changes how we feel and what we eat. As the sun fills our bodies with light and the green world springs into motion we crave everything vibrant and fresh. It’s not enough to see it in the world, we want these chlorophyll tonics to suffuse our bodies with their healing power. Cuisine moves away from the deep, dense flavors of winter – stews, roots and dark red wine – toward lightness, tenderness, and brightness. Salads of tiny leaves and fragrant sauces of pounded greens are the order of the day. Fish, meat and pasta become foils for all this delicacy and perfume.
Reservations for Lunch, Dinner and Tastings are now open through the end of May.
Hiyu wines are only available to The Understory and guests to the farm on the day of your reservation. If you are not part of The Understory a visit to the farm is the best way to learn about and purchase our wines.
Lunch
Thursday through Sunday with seatings from 12:00pm to 2:00pm for $150 per person: This five-course lunch celebrates the bounty of the garden and includes a seasonally attuned tasting of our wines. This meal evokes the magical escapes offered by midday repasts of the European countryside.
Dinner
Reservations for dinner are currently open through the end of May.
We offer a seven course meal paired with our wines every Saturday night at 6pm. Their are only four tables plus four seats at the chef’s counter available each evening. We recommend making reservations at least two weeks in advance.
There is an extra element of magic in the dinners that is hard to quantify. The lunches are the best introduction to the food we serve on the farm, but the dinners take it to a more intimate, magical and transcendent level.
Tastings
Every Sunday afternoon at 3pm we offer a tasting with winemaker Nate Ready. At these tastings twelve people sit together around the table together in conversation around the wines. We will comp two tickets to this tasting for every 12 bottle case purchased at the tasting and two tickets for every person who joins The Understory.
Private Dinners
Wednesday through Sunday night at 6:00PM for $300 per person. This meal and tasting experience is built around the needs of larger groups (We can accommodate groups from 6 to 18 people). There is a longer time reserved at the beginning of the meal to drink our white and rosé wines in the glowing light of sunset while we pass around an array of small snacks. The meal itself is a multi-course family-style meal paired with our wines. It’s designed to bring the group together and provide a relaxed ambience where you can share love, thoughts, and ideas. We also offer a seven course tasting menu for groups of 6-8. Email visit@hiyuwinefarm.com if you are interested in a private lunch or tasting as these are also possible during the winter season.
