It’s that semi-awkward time of the year, folks. The time when it’s a tad too early to start hanging up holiday decorations and kicking back eggnog, yet not too early to start planning gifts and holiday getaways. But before you start breaking out last year’s sparkle decor, make time for yourself this upcoming weekend. And what better way to help inspire Thanksgiving dish ideas than to attend a delectable five-course wine pairing dinner while escaping the city this weekend.
On Saturday, November 9, the Manor on Golden Pond in Holderness, NH, will be teaming up with the Boston Wine School to host a wine-inspired dinner at the hotel. This wine class, food and cozy Manor all present the perfect excuse to escape the chaotic city. And after the last couple of glorious weeks here in Boston, we don’t blame you if you need a vacation. Here’s how to celebrate your love for wine and food this weekend in New Hampshire.

Go big or go home on this weekend getaway. The Manor on Golden Pond will be hosting the autumn wine-pairing dinner so you may as well stay there. This luxury inn has a bed and breakfast charm — the perfect way to treat yourself after a long week. The inn resembles an English manor and the property spans to 13 acres including spectacular views of the White Mountains.

The main event this weekend is the Wine Tasting Class and Dinner hosted by Jonathan Alsop, founder of the Boston Wine School. After you sip and learn about different wines, you’ll be seated at a five-course wine pairing dinner. So my advice is — skip lunch because this wine dinner will fill you up. The menu includes a roasted pumpkin soup, mussels, salad, pan-roasted chicken statler breast and an apple dessert. Talk about some Thanksgiving cooking inspiration. The event cost $115 and includes both the wine class and dinner. But if you stay at the Manor, you’ll receive a 30% discount off the inn’s regular winter best available rates.
