The Come Over October celebration is roaring ahead, with wineries, wine stores, restaurants, and consumers celebrating wine as the beverage that brings us together.

Wineries throughout the country are celebrating COO in different ways. Here in the fabulous Finger Lakes, Fox Run Vineyards is hosting Food & Wine Experiences and Harvest Dinners. The former includes tours of the vineyard and winery, followed by a special luncheon in the barrel room featuring local foods with Fox Run wines.

The October Harvest Dinners are five-course feasts featuring local products whenever possible, paired with appropriate wines, and described by the chefs and winemakers who put it all together. The pairings:

–Steamed Steelhead Trout Wonton with 2022 Sur Lie Chardonnay

–Shellfish Paella with 2023 Semi-Dry Riesling

–Shaved Brussels Sprouts & Toasted Coconut Salad with 2021 Doyle Family Unoaked Chardonnay

–Bostrom Farms “Bone-In” Pork Ribeye with 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon

–Pumpkin & White Chocolate Macaron, Apple Crisp Macaron, Sheldrake Moon Cheese & Geneva Farms Plums with Fine Old Tawny Port

YUM! Fox Run also reminds its customers to send their own photos of their October get-togethers so they can be posted on the winery’s website and social media.

They also remind everyone: “What you find when you share a bottle of wine with good company is that dinner gets a little longer, conversations become more open, laughter becomes a little louder, and connecting grows a little deeper.”  Yes indeed. Cheers!
