It’s a WonderFall (and delicious) autumn at Baron’s Cove. Here’s what’s coming up at Sag Harbor’s harbor-side retreat this fall. Sweater weather is for wining, dining, and cozy fireside gatherings at one of my favorite Hamptons hotspots.

Join us for our annual Oktoberfest this Saturday, October 13, 1-5 p.m. and enjoy beer specials, wursts with kraut & whole grain mustard (bratwurst, weisswurst, bauernwurst), soft Pennsylvania pretzels with beer and Adirondack cheddar fondue, and Chef Jay’s bacon jam, mini schnitzel with spätzle, lingonberries, lemon, apfelstreudel, and more. Plus, there’ll be live festive music with local favorite, Tom & Lisa, 2-5 p.m.
