This meal is designed not only to bring to life the breathtaking depth of flavor that have developed in these beautifully aged wines, but to be a centerpiece around which a select few lucky wine connoisseurs can dine with our Winemaker, hear the untold gems of Grgich Hills’ winemaking, and share their own journey as a wine lover and friend of Grgich Hills Estate.

Not only will you enjoy phenomenal fare paired with rare, impeccably aged wines, but the evening will conclude with exclusive access to an expanded offering from our library collection. Commemorate the event by taking home keystone wines to add to your cellar with access to a collection afforded only to a select few. Be guided in your selections by Ivo himself, and call the very pinnacle of Grgich Hills Estate offerings your own.

Ivo and Chef Juan, along with the Grgich Hills Estate team can’t wait to share their collective passion with you, a fellow appreciator, by hosting you for this unforgettable meal.
