Duckhorn Wine Dinner at Michael's Wine Cellar
About this Event
Join us at Michael’s Wine Cellar for an unforgettable evening featuring the acclaimed wines of Duckhorn Vineyards, one of Napa Valley’s most celebrated producers, paired with an exceptional multi-course culinary experience crafted by the Michael’s On East culinary team.
On Wednesday, August 19 from 6:30–9:30 PM, guests will enjoy a thoughtfully curated menu expertly paired with a selection of Duckhorn wines that showcase the winery’s dedication to craftsmanship, vineyard expression, and timeless elegance. From beautifully balanced Sparkling Rosé and Chardonnay to the winery’s iconic Merlot and world-class Cabernet Sauvignon, each pairing has been selected to highlight the remarkable depth and character that have made Duckhorn a benchmark of Napa Valley winemaking.
Founded in 1976 by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn, Duckhorn Vineyards helped redefine the future of Napa Valley by championing Merlot at a time when Cabernet Sauvignon dominated the American wine landscape. As one of the first forty wineries established in Napa Valley, Duckhorn quickly earned a reputation for producing wines of exceptional balance, elegance, and longevity. Their pioneering Three Palms Vineyard Merlot became one of the most celebrated Merlots in America and was recognized as Wine Spectator's 2017 Wine of the Year, cementing Duckhorn's place among the world's finest wine producers.
For nearly five decades, Duckhorn has remained committed to crafting wines that express the unique character of Napa Valley's finest vineyard sites. Under the guidance of acclaimed winemakers and a philosophy centered on allowing each vineyard to speak for itself, the winery has built an enduring legacy of excellence. Today, Duckhorn continues to be recognized as one of California's premier luxury wineries, producing wines celebrated for their refinement, consistency, and sense of place.
Set within the warm, intimate atmosphere of Michael’s Wine Cellar, this special evening is perfect for wine enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who appreciates extraordinary food and wine. Join us for exceptional pairings, engaging storytelling, and an unforgettable exploration of one of Napa Valley’s most iconic wineries.
