Caviar & sparkling for valentine's day weekend

February 2026 | Finger Lakes, New York

Celebrate Valentine’s Day and Presidents Day Weekend at Red Tail Ridge Winery with an unforgettable caviar and sparkling wine experience. Join us as we welcome our new Chef Partner, Matt Hummel, and enjoy a thoughtfully crafted menu that places caviar service front and center.

Chef Matt Hummel designed this experience to invite exploration and indulgence. Your reservation includes a curated caviar and sparkling wine pairing, and when you arrive, you’ll select the caviar that best matches your taste. From there, your flavor journey expands with an optional menu of chef-driven accompaniments available for purchase.

Explore a Playful, Chef-Driven Caviar Menu

Enhance your caviar experience with creative pairings such as totones and Chef Matt’s Red Tail Ridge–inspired fried chicken. Guests may also order additional caviar throughout the experience. Vegetarian guests can enjoy a delicious caviar alternative, thoughtfully prepared to deliver richness and depth without fish roe.
