Truchard Vineyards is a family-owned winery that has been a cornerstone of the Carneros region in Napa Valley for nearly 50 years. Founded by Tony and Jo Ann Truchard, the estate began as a vineyard dedicated to growing exceptional grapes and played a key role in pioneering viticulture in the region. In 1989, the Truchards established their own winery, crafting wines exclusively from their estate-grown fruit—an approach that reflects their deep connection to the land and dedication to quality winemaking. For this special evening, Anthony Truchard, General Manager of Truchard Vineyards, will guide us through a selection of the winery’s exquisite wines, each thoughtfully paired with a 5-course prix fixe dinner created by Executive Chef Matt Sramek. This immersive experience offers a rare opportunity to explore the harmony between exceptional food and wine while gaining insight into the passion and craftsmanship behind every bottle.
