Schramsberg, one of the first wineries in the Napa Valley has a storied history dating back to the 19th Century. They have also been part of world history, including the 1972 “Toast to Peace” when its Blanc de Blancs was used by President Nixon and China’s Premier Zhou Enlai. Since that moment, Schramsberg’s sparkling wines have been served at official State functions by every U.S. Presidential administration.
With a mission to create America’s most prestigious, select and admired sparkling wine, our winemaker dinner with Schramsberg will feature the best sparkling wines and a few favorites from J. Davies collection, including Cabernets and a Pinot Noir. Throughout the reception and six course dinner hear from Matthew Levy, marketing and e-commerce manager for Schramsberg Vineyards and Davies Vineyards since 2009.
Taste the history and learn about how Schramsberg has created some of the top sparkling wines in the world during this exceptional opportunity to enjoy a dinner with a Napa Valley and global favorite.
