At Burgess, wine is so much more than what’s in the glass—it’s about connection, discovery, and the unforgettable moments we create around the table. Whether you’ve been visiting us for years or are planning your first trip, we want every experience here to be extraordinary—one that lingers long after the last sip.

 

With that spirit, we’re introducing something new: Chef in Residence, a private wine and food pairing series launching this March. Every 12 weeks, we’ll welcome a distinguished chef to craft exclusive dishes you can only experience at Burgess—each menu designed to highlight the incredible versatility of our wines.
