LaBelle Winery in Derry, N.H. Hosting “LaBelle in Bloom” Five-Year Anniversary Gala on June 6, 2026

To celebrate five years at its Derry, N.H., location, LaBelle Winery will host “LaBelle in Bloom,” an anniversary gala event on Saturday, June 6, 2026, from 6:30 to 10 p.m. at 14 Route 111 in Derry, NH. The winery, which opened its flagship Amherst location in 2012, expanded to Derry in 2021, bringing its award-winning wines, cuisine, and hospitality to a second New Hampshire community.

The evening will include a cocktail hour with passed hors d’oeuvres and a raw bar; a champagne toast; a four-course dinner prepared by executive chef Justin Bernatchez; a live DJ; interactive live painting stations; breathtaking floral décor; and award-winning LaBelle wines. A full bar will be available throughout the evening for purchase, featuring specialty cocktails, beer and non-alcoholic beverages. The gala also serves as a fundraiser benefiting Lydia’s House of Hope. Formal, floral-themed attire is encouraged.

“This dinner is a love letter to the season,” said Justin Bernatchez, executive chef. “Every course was designed to reflect the beauty and abundance of early summer. I cannot wait to share it with everyone who joins us that evening.”

“Five years in Derry feels like coming into full bloom,” said Amy LaBelle, winemaker and co-owner of LaBelle Winery. “This community has given us so much, and this evening is our way of celebrating together and giving back. Lydia’s House of Hope holds a very special place in my heart. The women and children in that program are working so hard to build a better life, and I feel privileged that we can use this celebration to support them. The best milestones are the ones you share with others, and I cannot wait to raise a glass with everyone who has been part of this journey.”

“Opening in Derry five years ago was a leap of faith, and this community has embraced us every step of the way,” said Cesar Arboleda, co-owner of LaBelle Winery. “We are incredibly proud of what we have built here and grateful for every guest, neighbor, and partner who has been part of our story.”

The evening will also serve as a fundraiser for Lydia’s House of Hope, with several ways for guests to give back throughout the night. New Hampshire artist Benjamin Archibald will lead a live Imprint Project, a collaborative artwork built from the fingerprints of participating guests, with a small fee per fingerprint contributing to the cause.

The completed piece will be available in a live auction alongside an original floral painting by artist Jessie Lee and an original painting by Amy LaBelle, which will also serve as the backdrop for the evening’s menus. Additional donation opportunities will be available throughout the evening.
