Winemaker Weekend with Dustin Valette

After a long hiatus, we were thrilled to welcome our members back for a special weekend event in September of 2021! Guests were treated to one of two member-exclusive, four-course winemaker paired lunches on the outdoor patio of Healdsburg’s highly acclaimed Valette Restaurant. As expected, seats went quickly and we sold out both days.

Winemaker Heidi Bridenhagen (Saturday) and founder Steve MacRostie (Sunday) discussed five single-vineyard wines, while Chef/Owner Dustin Valette shared the secret behind each expertly paired course.

We look forward to welcoming our members for more exciting events in 2022!
