Bar Manager Thaddeus Goff
Valley View Farm is excited to have sommelier Thaddeus Goff as the in-house wine and beverage director. After years of creating, tasting, and perfecting his craft, Thaddeus is now recognized by the Court of Master Sommeliers of America and awarded his certification in New York City.
Thaddeus's bar experience began at his family's restaurant where he began work as an oyster shucker and barback and later as lead bartender. It was there he grew to appreciate cocktails that highlighted each season, and the importance of fresh ingredients.
Now you can now find him harvesting in our herb gardens and ordering from local farms to bring guests a truly unique beverage experience. Thaddeus also developed and leads our off season Farm Bar popup program.

“We had 175 guests at our December 28th wedding, we fit perfectly inside the venue. The bar staff went out of their way to make cocktail hour such a breeze. They had a drink in every guests hand within 5 minutes of the ceremony being done. (Shout out to Tadd!)”
