About this Event
Five-course dinner featuring Pahlmeyer & Jayson Napa Valley wines. Luxurious pairings from Chardonnay and Merlot through two Cabernets, finishing with a decadent dessert course. Join us for an intimate evening celebrating the bold elegance of Pahlmeyer, one of Napa Valley’s most sought-after names, alongside the polished, vineyard-driven wines of Jayson. This guided dinner experience is designed for guests who love classic Napa richness balanced by precision each course crafted to elevate the wine’s texture, aromatics, and depth. From the first sip of Pahlmeyer Chardonnay with almond‑crusted crab cakes to the final bite of dark chocolate almond custard, this is a night built around harmony: thoughtful pacing, refined flavors, and wines that shine brightest at the table.
