Dean Lane Dining

09/01/2026

August gave us full tables, peak‑season produce, and the kind of moments that remind us why we love what we do. 🍽️

As summer winds down, we’re excited to lean into a new season of flavors, gatherings, and fresh offerings at Dean Lane Dining. 🍂

Follow along to keep up to date with everything new at Dean Lane.

✨ One of our absolute favorite dishes & pairings from recent Farm Dinners! ✨

Chef Michael’s Chanterelle Ravioli 🍄 — handmade ravioli featuring wild, locally foraged chanterelles, tender steak tips, a decadent Gruyère cream sauce, and fresh chives. Rich, earthy, and packed with incredible umami, this was one of those dishes we couldn’t stop talking about.

For the first time, we paired it with Reserve Cabernet Franc 2024 from our friends at Boundary Breaks 🍷 — and wow, did this pairing deliver.

A beautiful expression of Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc, the wine brought vibrant red cherry and bright acidity to cut through the richness of the Gruyère cream sauce, while its integrated tannins and structure stood up beautifully to the steak and deep, savory character of the chanterelles.

Richness, acidity, fruit, earthiness — everything just clicked. Easily one of Sommelier Dan’s favorite pairings of late, and one we’ll be thinking about for a while. 🌾🥂✨

WOW — what a Friday night on the farm! 🌾🥂
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for a record-breaking Farm Dinner this past Friday! More than 100 of you gathered around our tables, with 60 guests joining us for our exclusively Finger Lakes wine pairing experience. 🍷✨

We continue to be absolutely blown away by the support you’ve shown us this summer. From the new faces discovering Dean Lane for the first time to the familiar friends we’re lucky enough to welcome back week after week — thank you, truly. 💛

Getting to share what we love with all of you — Chef Michael’s exciting new weekly dishes, Lisa’s beautiful desserts, Sommelier Dan’s local wine pairings, the wonderful hospitality from all of our staff and the simple magic of gathering together on the farm — is something we never take for granted. What a dream it is to do this every week!

Here’s to many more summer nights, full tables, great food, beautiful Finger Lakes wine, and memories made on the farm. ☀️🌿

We can’t wait to host you again soon.
Cheers from all of us here at Dean Lane! 🥂

✨ Pairing of the Week ✨
Chef Michael’s Bay Scallops Provencal 🐚🌿
A nod to his culinary roots, this dish featured tender bay scallops with fresh local sautéed zucchini and summer squash, creamy hummus, and a rich, smoky romesco. Bright, vibrant, and packed with layers of flavor.

Paired beautifully with Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2024 from our friends at Bravery Winery 🍷. The subtle oak aging gave the wine a delicate softness and texture, while vibrant citrus and ripe orchard fruit brought a beautiful lift to the dish, complementing the sweetness of the scallops and the richness of the romesco.

This was one of Sommelier Dan’s most challenging pairings to date. Finding a wine that could balance the richness of the hummus and romesco while still letting the delicate scallops shine wasn’t easy—but the result was a pairing we couldn’t have been happier with.

Sometimes the most rewarding pairings are the ones that challenge you the most. 🥂✨

Phew… what a month July was! ☀️🌾

From multiple nights welcoming 100+ guests to the farm, to new dishes, new Finger Lakes wines, and the return of some of our favorite classics—it’s been a month we won’t soon forget.

We watched 300 oysters disappear in just 20 minutes at our pop-up with our friends at Scout Vineyards, celebrated an incredible Greek Food Pop-Up at The Olney Place... on Keuka, and, most importantly, had the joy of sharing so many unforgettable evenings with all of you.

To everyone who joined us this month—thank you. Whether you’ve been dining with us since day one or visited for the very first time, we’re so grateful you chose to spend your summer evenings on the farm with us. Your support, laughter, and smiling faces are what make Dean Lane so special. 💛

Summer is in full swing, and the best part is… there’s still so much more to come. Here’s to another month of fresh menus, beautiful Finger Lakes wines, and making new memories together around the table.

We hope to see you on the farm soon. 🥂
