From Friday, May 30 through Sunday, June 1, Mohonk Mountain House will host a brand-new event: the Wine and Food Festival of New Paltz.
The festival will feature seminars by celebrity sommeliers, chefs and wine experts; tastings of a wide selection of wines culled from mostly small vineyards in Europe and the US, with a special emphasis on Italy and New York State; tastings and demonstrations by noted chefs of creative food-and-wine pairings; and on Sunday, reserved for the wine trade, the handing out of 19 awards to the best wines and a presentation on new trends in the industry.
