Passion is our #1 ingredient! Verdot Tastings provides wine dinners, wine/beer/spirits tastings, barbecues/cookouts, cooking seminars, and wine consultations.
We also offer an opportunity for clients to have a chef come to their home once a week to prepare dinners for the household. Meals are vacuumed-sealed and refrigerated or frozen, making the preparation of the clients next meal quick and simple. It's great for those on the go or those with large families. Working under culinary stars like Patrick O'Connell and Michel Richard, we have nearly a decad
e of experience in the fine dining industry. We allow you to enjoy your time with your friends and family while we take care of all of the food and beverage needs. A chef is only as good as their ingredients so we use only fresh ingredients that we obtain from local butchers and farmers. So if you need weekly meals prepared for you and your family, if you are wanting to learn more about food and wine, or if you are looking to be the star at your next house party, let Verdot Tastings handle all of your culinary needs.

Yesterday was a busy day! From delivering chocolate covered strawberries, to setting up hor d'oeuvres for the High-Heeled Happy Hour, and finishing the evening with a wine dinner for 10, there was quite a bit of traveling. Pictured is one of the dishes from the wine dinner, Rockfish over an Asian Succotash and a Sesame Garlic Sauce.

Last night, our very own Chef Ray, attended the Loudoun Habitat for Humanity Masquerade Ball. He was gracious enough to donate a 5 course wine dinner for 10 that eventually went up to 14 during the action in the live auction. With two tables involved in a back and forth bidding war, the dinner ended up going for $4,500! Over the past 3 years now, the donated dinners have helped bring $9,000 to the cause. Thank you to all of those involved with the event, and a special thank you to all of the donors!
The 2 night cooking class held at Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast Inn was a huge success over the weekend. A very special thanks to their staff, the owners of Three Fox Vineyards, and most importantly, the guests who participated in the class. The lamb lollipop with a mint plum sauce was the star of the show and was the hands down favorite. If you would like to host a cooking class for your family, your employees, or your friends, contact us today to schedule and plan a class that will suit your needs!
There are still spots available for the 2 night cooking class at Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast Inn. It is not required that you book a night's stay there but they still have availability for that as well. Friday night will consist of hors d'oeuvres and wine from Three Fox Vineyards. Saturday night will be a sit down, 5 course meal where Chef Ray will demonstrate how to prepare each course. The cost for both nights is $100/person. This will be the last class we have there this year so don't miss your chance on broadening your wine and culinary knowledge while enjoying some fantastic food!

With the warm weather back for the summer season, now is a perfect time to have us cater a cookout for you. If it's just 20 people, or 200 people, we can find the right theme for you to be a star at your next neighborhood barbecue!
We are very pleased to announce the new brand for our vacuumed sealed meals! Introducing, "Sous Vide".
Sous vide is French for "under vacuum". It is a method chefs use by vacuum sealing food and cooking it in water below 200°.
We use the method to allow our customers to reheat already prepared meals in a matter of minutes. It allows for a fresh, healthy, and convenient dinner to be prepared for those on the go and those who don't prefer spending hours to prepare a gourmet meal for their family. All you have to do is bring a pot of water to a simmer and drop the food package in. No prep, and minimal cleanup!
Contact us today to set up a consultation to have a menu catered to your dietary needs!

"Sous Vide"- French for under vacuum.

The Ultimate Food Lovers Weekend
Happy First Day of Spring! Regardless of what it looks like outside today, Spring is here. Time to tidy the house, garage, and your refrigerator. Check out this handy info graph when thinking about what to keep and what needs to be replaced. When Chef Ellis comes to your home to prepare meals or cater your event, he makes sure the ingredients are fresh!
When Chef Ray Ellis isn’t in your home preparing meals for the week, he is showing off his skills at local cooking classes! This fun, hands-on, two-hour class demonstrated dishes from starters to the main course that you can make at home. Paired with wines from Three Fox Vineyards, Chef Ray Ellis created a 5 course meal using the best ingredients. The only thing possibly more stunning than the plated dishes is the view at Briar Patch Bed & Breakfast Inn in historic Middleburg. Visit our page for more upcoming events!
Do you love going to great restaurants but loathe the travel and getting reservations? Our Chef can come to your home and create a 5 star dining experience where no reservations are needed and you only need to travel to your dining room. Contact us today to have a menu created specifically for you!
