At Skytop Lodge, the changing seasons inspire our menus, and in the fall, our dishes reflect the comforting flavors of the season. Our diverse range of popular wine-pairing dishes, from hearty meats to roasted vegetables and indulgent desserts, will excite your taste buds and elevate your dining experience. Each dish is a celebration of the rich local produce and the vibrant autumnal palette that surrounds us.
Wine pairing constantly evolves, with new trends emerging as chefs experiment with flavors and techniques. One trend that has gained traction is the focus on local and sustainable wines. At Skytop Lodge, we’ve begun incorporating more wines from nearby vineyards, offering our guests a taste of the Poconos’ growing wine industry. These wines complement the flavors of our dishes and support local winemakers, adding a sense of place to each meal.
Another exciting trend is the rise of plant-based wine pairings, as more guests seek vegetarian and vegan options. Wines with bright acidity, herbal notes, or light fruitiness are often paired with plant-based dishes, creating a fresh and modern approach to wine pairing that’s perfect for fall’s seasonal produce.
In addition to exploring wine pairings this fall, guests can indulge in a unique dining experience at our Spirits, Steak, and Scandal event. This immersive event offers guests a chance to enjoy a gourmet steak dinner while sipping on expertly paired spirits and unraveling an interactive mystery.
