Crimson Lane Vineyards Hosts Early Mountain for One-Night Wine Dinner Celebrating Virginia’s Finest

Crimson Lane Vineyards will host an exclusive, one-night-only wine dinner in collaboration with Early Mountain Vineyards on Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM in Linden, Virginia. The evening celebrates partnership, place, and the evolution of Virginia as a world-class wine region, bringing together two leading wineries for a multi-course, chef-driven experience. Led by Executive Chef Tim Moore and Chef de Cuisine Kristen Hall—both alumni of the three-Michelin-starred Inn at Little Washington—the seasonal tasting menu will highlight Blue Ridge ingredients and refined technique, with pairings including dishes like strawberry gazpacho with hamachi crudo, ember roasted bison ribeye, and yuzu cheesecake alongside standout wines from both estates.

This dinner marks a meaningful full-circle moment for Crimson Lane, as Early Mountain once played a foundational role in producing the estate’s earliest vintages. Today, that relationship has evolved into a shared commitment to exceptional hospitality and elevating Virginia wine on a national stage. Guests will experience the synergy between the two wineries while exploring the depth and craftsmanship of the region’s wine industry. Tickets are $175 per person, excluding tax and gratuity.

In addition, Crimson Lane will offer a separate, educational tasting experience inspired by Germany’s iconic wine regions, including the Mosel Valley and Rheinhessen. With Riesling as the focal point, guests will explore the influence of steep vineyards, slate soils, and generations of tradition while connecting with the winemakers behind these expressive wines. Tickets for this experience are $45 per person, with limited availability and advance purchase recommended. Click HERE to make your reservation.
