While Napa offers hundreds of tasting experiences throughout the Valley, it is almost unheard of to have direct, intimate access to talent of this caliber in a single evening. This is your opportunity to bypass the standard tasting room script and learn directly from seasoned hospitality professionals.

The Experience

Move beyond the basic advice and learn advanced flavor profiling directly from our experts. Andrea and a different special guest each month will strip away the pretense to reveal the high-level mechanics of taste. Whether you are an industry professional or a passionate enthusiast, you will leave with a sophisticated understanding of how food and wine interact at a molecular and sensory level.

Your ticket grants you access to:

  • The Palate of a Master: Andrea Immer Robinson (one of only 30 female Master Sommeliers in the world) will guide you through a flight of five exceptional wines, teaching you to taste with professional precision.
  • A Michelin-Caliber Tasting: Enjoy curated bites paired with a tasting of one of five exceptional wines that perfectly illustrate the four “golden rules” of pairing—fail-safe techniques that apply to both humble fare and haute cuisine.
  • NEW! A Taste of The Grove: In addition to the curated bites, a sample of Chef’s choice of dish from The Grove restaurant will be included in your pairing experience.

Dates:

The Mount “Crushmore” of American Wine
