This very special dinner will feature a great selection of classic Sonoma County varietals, including chardonnay, pinot noir and zinfandel. We'll round out the dinner with a fantastic cabernet and AVV's flagship Bordeaux style blend. This will be a great chance to sample some of the award-winning wines Alexander Valley Vineyards produces, and hear first-hand about the winery's pioneering spirit.

Please be sure to note your branch of service in the optional field during checkout. Limit 2 seats per Veteran. Thank you for your service!

Each selection will be paired with its own wine inspired dinner course, prepared by Chef Erin Sealy. Chef Erin specializes in pairing food with wine, with a slightly different approach than most. Prior to creating a menu, each wine is tasted and reviewed and then she creates a food pairing, highlighting the nuances of each wine. This concept creates a dinner and pairing experience with layers of complexity and unique creations which exemplify the enjoyment of each wine. With a passion for food and wine, Chef Erin delights attendees with a detailed account of the pairing concept and cooking techniques that create each course. Expect a fabulous evening of wine, food and educational insights! Seating is limited. Please see below for additional dinner details and a registration link.
