Enjoy live music, great wines and delicious food while learning more about our fantastic Napa Valley winess.



Join us to witness the creation of a wine. Each year at the annual Premiere Napa Valley Auction, winemakers offer micro-lots of their absolute best wines -- top barrels, special blends and innovative cuvées. Sommelier DLynn Proctor will talk with three winemakers to discover their approach to selecting and blending Premiere Napa Valley wines. Live, during this session, winemakers will taste key blending components, discuss their decision making process as they taste unfinished barrel samples and decide what their future offering will be.

Learning Objectives: 

  • Discover Premiere Napa Valley wines
  • Learn how to taste with winemakers
  • Learn how winemakers approach blending
