Join us for a special event with Garret Thomas Murphy, author of The Gentleman Farmer . This event is free, but we appreciate your RSVP below so we can plan for your attendance.

The Gentleman Farmer is a work of literary fiction set in Napa Valley. Threaded throughout the novel is a vibrant cast of supporting characters—winemakers, consultants, business owners, vintners, patrons, and power brokers—many inspired by real figures and places in Napa Valley. For readers in the know, there is pleasure in uncovering their real-world counterparts, as these intersecting lives quietly connect the dots and help steer the fate of the protagonists. Only one of them will prevail: the true Gentleman Farmer.

"Riveting." - John Caldwell, a smuggler and vitner.

"A vivid, accurate look at the wine world from an insider perspective, Garett makes our small valley compelling." - Phillipe Melka, celebrated Napa Valley winemaker
