A Legacy in Every Glass

Before we dive into the delectable details of this spectacular evening, let’s take a moment to appreciate the rich history and legacy of Charles Krug Winery. Established in 1861, Charles Krug is not just any winery; it’s the beacon of Napa Valley’s wine heritage. The winery’s journey through time, under the stewardship of the Peter Mondavi Sr. family since 1943, is a story of passion, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Five generations have nurtured this iconic estate, making Charles Krug a name synonymous with quality and innovation.

Imagine sipping on a glass of exquisite wine that encapsulates over a century of winemaking mastery. That’s exactly what you’ll experience at our wine-pairing dinner, as we showcase some of Charles Krug’s most exceptional creations, each paired perfectly with a course from our specially curated menu.

A Culinary Symphony

Our Executive Chef Forster is already busy in the kitchen, crafting a 5-course menu that harmonizes beautifully with the Charles Krug wines we’ll be featuring. From the robust and complex flavors of the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon to the delicate and aromatic profile of the 2023 Sauvignon Blanc, each course is designed to complement and enhance the unique characteristics of these fine wines.

Picture this: a bite of succulent, perfectly cooked dish, followed by a sip of wine that echoes and amplifies the flavors on your palate. It’s not just dinner; it’s an experience. An exploration of textures, aromas, and tastes that tells a story and creates memories.

Exclusive Insights from Alycia Mondavi

To make the evening even more special, we’ll be joined by Alycia Mondavi, Peter Mondavi’s granddaughter, who will share intimate stories and insights from one of the most iconic wine families in Napa Valley and the world. Alycia grew up on the property and in the family wine business, offering her a unique perspective on the art of winemaking and the legacy of Charles Krug.

This is a rare opportunity to delve deep into the heart of Napa Valley’s wine culture, guided by a member of the Mondavi family. Alycia’s presence adds an extra layer of depth and authenticity to the evening, allowing us to connect with the wines on a personal level.
