Stella Serves Exclusive Wine Dinner In New Hope With Terra D'Oro

NEW HOPE, PA — Stella of New Hope will serve "Wine On The River," a special alfresco evening of wine and fine dining taking place Wednesday, June 18 beginning at 6 p.m.

Set on the restaurant’s scenic grassy knoll overlooking the Delaware, the experience features a thoughtfully prepared five-course menu by executive chef Keith Bernstein, with each dish expertly paired with wines from Terra D’Oro, a celebrated winery rooted in California’s Sierra Foothills.

The intimate event offers guests a rare opportunity to enjoy exceptional cuisine and award-winning wines in an unforgettable outdoor setting. Priced at $200 per person (exclusive of tax and gratuity), reservations can be made by visiting OpenTable.

“Each wine from Terra D’Oro brings its own unique character to the table, and our goal was to complement and elevate those notes through carefully crafted pairings,” said Chef Bernstein. “This dinner is as much about storytelling as it is about flavor — bringing together vineyard, kitchen, and setting in one memorable evening.”
