The partnership

Exceptional food, exceptional wine

Our partnership brings together the two things that matter most in luxury entertaining. Borghese Vineyard offers a vineyard setting rich in character, surrounded by the charm of the North Fork. Indulge Private Chefs brings the culinary expertise, creative menu development and service.

Together we are creating a destination for weddings, celebrations and private events that pairs the natural beauty of Long Island wine country with cooking and hospitality you remember.

The food

Every event should tell a story

Our cooking centers on seasonal ingredients, farm-to-table cuisine, locally sourced seafood, artisanal products and menus designed around the character of each celebration.

We draw on the North Fork's farms, fisheries, local purveyors and wine producers, so the menu at Borghese celebrates the region and its abundance.

The settings

In the vines, the gallery or under a tent

Borghese hosts weddings and events among the vines, in its art gallery, whose wide barn doors open onto the rows, or under a tent. Dominique plans the kitchen and the service around whichever you choose.

Questions

Borghese Vineyard questions

Can Indulge Private Chefs cater our wedding at Borghese Vineyard?

Yes. Indulge Private Chefs has a culinary partnership with Borghese Vineyard in Cutchogue, on the North Fork of Long Island. Chef Michael Giletto writes your menu with you, and Event Director Dominique Donofrio coordinates the day with the vineyard, from the first consultation and tasting to the last plate. Send your date and guest count with your inquiry and we will check the date with the vineyard.

What kinds of events can we host at Borghese Vineyard with Indulge?

Weddings, rehearsal dinners, bridal celebrations, corporate gatherings, private celebrations and intimate dinners. Events can be held outside in the vines, in the vineyard's art gallery or under a tent, and service can be a cocktail reception, an elegant plated dinner, family-style platters down long tables, or a vineyard-inspired tasting experience. Each event is planned around the vineyard setting and your own vision, so the format, the courses and the pace of the evening are decided with you.

What food do you serve at a North Fork vineyard event?

Seasonal, farm-to-table cooking built around the North Fork: produce from local farms, locally sourced seafood, artisanal products from regional purveyors, and menus written with the vineyard's wines in mind. Michael designs every menu for the celebration in front of him rather than from a fixed package, and every guest's dietary needs are planned into the menu from the start.

Where is Borghese Vineyard, and do you cook elsewhere on the North Fork?

Borghese Vineyard, established in 1973 and known as the North Fork's founding vineyard, is in Cutchogue, in the wine country of Long Island's North Fork. Outside the vineyard, our private chefs also cook dinner parties and weekend stays at homes and rentals across the North Fork and The Hamptons, and we cater events in every market we serve.
