February 01, 2026

February at Fearrington Village is full of reasons to gather, celebrate, and linger.

UPCOMING WINE EVENTS

We are thrilled to invite winemaker and co-owner Nancy Irelan from Red Tail Ridge Winery in the Finger Lakes region of New York State with an exceptional lineup of varietals ALL from her property. From sparkling to late harvest Riesling, we’ll taste the gamut of wines from this unique winemaking area paired with a delicious menu from Chef Paul Gagne. Don't miss this wine dinner - reserve here.

Four wine glasses partially filled with red wine are arranged on a white table, with assorted wine bottles softly blurred in the background.

We've got a super exciting Blind Tasting 101 wine class this Thursday at 6pm, where we’ll de-mystify the daunting task of identifying wines by look, smell, and taste. Let us break it down for you and let’s have fun with it! Find your seat here.

And as always, join us from 1pm to 3pm Saturdays at Galloway's Wine Shop inside The Belted Goat for free wine tastings. Check out all the upcoming wine events on the calendar here.
