Frog’s Leap Winery Dinner Delights at Stella of New Hope

On Thursday, September 18, at 6:00 PM, Stella of New Hope presents an extraordinary installment of its acclaimed Wine Dinner Series, spotlighting the distinctive character and craftsmanship of Frog’s Leap Winery. Hosted on Stella’s scenic outdoor patio overlooking the Delaware River, this unforgettable evening marries Napa Valley’s organic wine heritage with the refined, seasonal cuisine of Executive Chef Keith Bernstein.

Known for its commitment to sustainable, organically farmed viticulture and a philosophy rooted in joy and restraint, Frog’s Leap Winery brings a curated selection of its celebrated expressions to the table. Chef Bernstein has crafted a five-course tasting menu that harmonizes and elevates these wines—telling a cohesive story from vine to plate. Each pairing has been designed to explore the nuance and depth of Frog’s Leap’s terroir-driven offerings, making this dinner more than just a meal; it’s a narrative woven through wine and flavor.

Guests will experience a culinary journey beginning with a Shima Aji Crudo matched to Frog’s Leap Sauvignon Blanc, progressing through handcrafted Egg Yolk Ravioli and butter-poached lobster, and culminating in a bold Squab & Waffles entrée with Frog’s Leap Estate Grown Cabernet Sauvignon. Dessert—Spiced Pumpkin Mousse paired with the winery’s Zinfandel—provides a seasonally rich finale.

Frog’s Leap Winery Wines Shine in Chef Bernstein’s Five-Course Pairing

Each course of the Frog’s Leap Winery wine dinner reveals an intentional synergy between Stella’s kitchen and Napa’s vines. The first course, Shima Aji Crudo with compressed pear and burnt lemon oil, dances beautifully with the crisp minerality of the Sauvignon Blanc. Then comes the indulgent Egg Yolk Ravioli in brown butter froth, amplified by the playful spice of Frog’s Leap’s Flycatcher.

The centerpiece of the evening may be the Squab & Waffles—roasted squab breast atop a duck-fat chestnut waffle, luxuriously enhanced by the depth and earthiness of the Cabernet Sauvignon. Each bite underscores Frog’s Leap’s belief that wine is meant to complement life’s pleasures—boldly, yet gracefully.

And while the wines hold center stage, Stella’s hospitality and stunning riverside setting play their supporting roles with elegance. The open-air ambiance enhances the organic spirit of the experience, making it feel more like a vineyard-side supper than a traditional dinner service. Priced at $200 per person (exclusive of tax and gratuity), this intimate affair is poised to sell out quickly.

Reservations are now available via OpenTable for those eager to toast with a glass of Frog’s Leap Winery’s best under the early autumn sky of Bucks County.
