The Dining Room at The Berkeley Hotel and Barboursville Vineyards will combine forces tonight for a wine reception and separate elaborate wine dinner. The reception is from 5pm to 7 pm and will have three appetizers paired with three wines for $29 per person. If that isn’t enough for you, following that, they are also offering a five-course dinner with perfectly paired Barboursville wines for $69 per person. Call 888-780-4422 to reserve your seat. The winery’s Jason Tesauro will be in attendance to explain his wine pairings.
