Vinum Cafe Serving Wine and Waiting for You at Brotherhood Winery!


Chill at Vinum Cafe

Brotherhood America's Oldest Winery Ltd. in Washingtonville is one of the nation's most historic and interesting wineries, and now it's possible to enjoy a great meal when you visit. The "Vinum Cafe", owned and independently operated by Chef-Owner Christian Pierrel, has been open almost a year but only recently received its license to serve wine; and after all, "a meal without wine is like a day without sunshine".


We got State legislation passed years ago that automatically allows farm wineries to have restaurants on their premises (commercial wineries need an additional license but may as well), and many in the Finger Lakes took advantage of that long ago. Unfortunately, local townships on Long Island have prevented them there, but it's nice to see new ones popping up in different regions.

Brotherhood owner Cesar Baeza describes the Vinum Cafe fare as "gourmet food at reasonable prices" with fantastic Lobster Bisque and "Hudson Valley Fois Gras that melts in your mouth". It's open Wednesday through Sunday noon to 9 pm for lunch, dinner and brunch with seating indoors and outside when weather permits. Visit http://vinumcafe.com/restaurant.htm.
