February Cooking Classes

Would you (and your friends) enjoy a cooking class—nothing terribly taxing, but fun, informative, and blending American, French, and Italian cuisines—at Millbrook Country House?

We have had such positive reactions to our Friday night dinners, with requests that we offer classes, that we're finally giving it a try. Lorraine was an editor at Gourmet magazine for more than a decade, and Giancarlo...well, he's Italian after all, and grew up eating one splendid meal after another, thanks to his mother and Irene, the family cook. Together we can put together a personalized lesson covering three courses and ending with dinner served in our dining room. What better way to spend a winter’s weekend than dividing your time between learning a new cooking technique or two, wining and dining, and relaxing by the fire!

As a special promotional price for the month of February, we are offering :

$25 / night discount on weekend room rates (two-night minimum)
$50 / person inclusive fee for Saturday afternoon lesson followed by dinner

For more information, just give us a call at 845 677 9570.

Party Planning

Millbrook Country House enjoys a particularly pretty position on the grounds of the former Philip Hart estate. Behind our circa 1808 house are flower and sculpture gardens and a level expanse of lawn that make an ideal venue for small, select gatherings.

For MCH guests (only) who would like to host outdoors events such as:

garden parties
cocktail receptions
graduation picnics
wedding breakfasts or luncheons
anniversary / birthday luncheons or dinners
wine tastings

We can offer our private garden as well as provide a short list of top-quality Millbrook - area caterers who would consult with you on every aspect of your plan, from menu to tent and table-settings.

In keeping with the quiet intimacy of MCH, invited guests for such garden gatherings cannot exceed 30.

For more information, please contact us by phone (845) 677 9570 or email.

Design Your Own Far Niente ("do nothing" in Italian) Weekend at Millbrook Country House

“Doing nothing” has been raised to an art in many Mediterranean countries. Business is, of course, conducted, schedules are (more or less) respected, and yet time is set aside for time-out. Meals last longer, conversation is more relaxed, moods are more expansive, and afternoon naps are almost obligatory.

Millbrook Country House welcomes those who are weary of always “doing something” -- a hard habit to break. Imagine having the time to think...or not. If this is sounding seductively subversive, come to us this winter for a far niente weekend in true Italian style.

Offerings include:

3-course dinner with aperitivo and digestivo
afternoon tea or cappuccino with antipasti by the fire
simple pleasures (music, plenty to read, cards, board games, lap cats on request)
tour and tasting at Millbrook Vineyards & Winery
the noteworthy, soul-soothing absence of t.v., Internet connections, and decent cell-phone reception
