While seated at the elegant tasting room Library 1821, in the dynamic walk-around tasting in the Discovery room or during a beautiful walk around our Landmark Ruins, we offer a perfect environment to taste a wide range of current and old vintage flights from our cellar, with seasonal culinary pairings designed by our Chef Michael Clough.
The Library 1821 Tasting List changes regularly, always to afford a diversified exposure to our varietal range of wines. A curated program of wine collection started in 1997 by our Winemaker Luca Paschina, now a vast selection of older distinguished wines is always for taste and purchase. The Library 1821 is also a repository for selected documents from our history, such as the letter by President John Quincy Adams appointing James Barbour to his cabinet as Secretary of War, original household china donated by descendants of the Barbour family, and commendations for our wines.
In the Library, selected wines are offered in flights ranging $25.00 to $75.00. To accompany your wine, Cheese, Charcuterie and a changing menu, by our Chef Michael Clough, is offered daily 11am-4pm.
