Food? At a Wine Festival?
You betcha.
Harvest season is about coming together, and nothing brings people around the table like comforting food made with care. At Newveau Festival, we're serving up dishes that warm your hands and your heart.
Not to mention, it’s historically a little chilly in November. What better way to warm your hands and souls than melty cheese on potatoes and a bowl of Coq au Vin?

Good Company Cheese Co.
Melty cheese on potatoes and ham
Located in Newberg, Oregon, in the heart of Wine Country, Good Company Cheese & Wine Shop curates a cut-to-order cheese and charcuterie case manned by a professional cheesemonger, as well as offering a wide selection of other specialty accompaniments and, of course, wine! Come pick out something tasty to take home and enjoy, or stay and enjoy a cheese plate and a glass of wine!
Coq Au Vin
Coq au Vin is a beloved French dish that translates to “rooster in wine.” Traditionally made by slow-braising chicken in red wine with mushrooms, onions, and herbs, it’s rustic, rich, and deeply comforting. The wine tenderizes the meat and creates a deeply flavorful sauce that feels both homey and indulgent.
This hearty dish is traditionally served during Nouveau Festival in France, and Chef Javier Santos is preparing to bring his own spin to this heartwarming dish.
Melty Cheese
A Nod to Tradition: Melty Cheese & Wine
In the spirit of French Beaujolais celebrations, Newveau brings you a warm, melty cheese experience inspired by the cozy Alpine dishes often served with young red wines. Our friends at Good Company Cheese will be serving boiled potatoes with optional ham topped with rich, gooey cheese—a simple, comforting bite that pairs beautifully with a glass of nouveau-style wine.
