The Unusual Pairings Wine Event at Red Tail Ridge Winery invites Wine Club Members to experience an evening where food and wine take unexpected turns. Chef Matt Hummel has created four inventive dishes designed to highlight one of our wines, but the pairings remain a surprise until you taste them together.
This exclusive Finger Lakes wine and food experience is designed for curious palates, adventurous wine lovers, and guests who enjoy discovering how flavor, texture, and aroma can completely transform a tasting experience.
Guests attending the Unusual Pairings Wine Event will enjoy:
Each dish was thoughtfully crafted to interact with the wine in surprising ways. Some pairings may amplify fruit notes, while others highlight acidity, texture, or structure. The experience is equal parts culinary exploration and wine education, wrapped into one unforgettable tasting.
