Make the evening special. Join us at the exclusive Vintner’s Tables
Three very special tables have been set-aside for you to share the evening with a very special group of wine-makers.
Blackbird Vineyards - Founded in 2003 by Michael Polenske, Blackbird Vineyards is an artisanal producer of Pomerol inspired wines from the Napa Valley. Since the premier release with our 2003 vintage, Blackbird Vineyards’ winemaking team has handcrafted truly expressive wines with a focus on the varieties of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Darioush - Focused to the limited production of red Bordeaux varietals and small lots of Chardonnay, Viognier, and Shiraz, Darioush employs minimal intervention or 'ancien' winemaking techniques. Under the direction of Darioush Khaledi and winemaker Steve Devitt, precision and quality are of the utmost importance at the winery.
Hendry - Hendry is a small estate winery located in the south-western Napa valley. We stress the importance of the vineyard, and we devote much of our time to understanding its variation on small scales. Combinations of soil, climate, varietal and clone are critical, and for this reason, we have divided our vineyard into 50 different blocks, each managed separately.
These very special tables include hand-selected wines and an opportunity to dine with the wine-maker for the evening can be yours to share for $3,000. (Table purchase is for eight guests)
Reservations are required for this exciting evening. For questions or to request an invitation call us at (925) 302-9488 or email events@danville-delegance.org. If you wish to attend this fabulous event the deadline is September 10th!
