Wine
Program
At Castle Hill, we believe there is a perfect beverage for every occasion, and we hope to find and share it with you while you’re here at the Inn. Our wine cellar spans five small rooms throughout the main mansion built in 1875, and houses over seven thousand bottles via eight hundred selections. As each year of celebration and summer memories go by, our racks ebb and flow with new trends while holding dear our traditions. We embrace the comfort in our champagne holdings where guests might enjoy their favorite anniversary bottle at Aurelia year after year.
At the same time, it is exhilarating to see the family vineyard approach with small producers and new imports coming to the table from our partners and friends worldwide. We’ve been fortunate enough to age in-house amazing verticals from acclaimed producers, which now host vintages that have been at Castle Hill longer than some of our young co-workers have been alive!
We are guided by chef ’s cuisine and our guest feedback throughout the years to curate our wine collection, and take pride in over ten years of the Wine Spectator “Best of Award of Excellence.”
We’re happy to assist in finding you the best bottle to enjoy based on your preference, cuisine, and occasion. We believe you can never have the same wine experience twice – and hope that this one will be the perfect pairing for your time at Castle Hill.
Cheers,
