The weekend kicks off with our annual barrel auction at the vibrant HALL winery. Here you will get a first taste of small-production barrel samples from Napa Valley wineries. 

Mingle with the winemakers as they provide you a sampling of their wines directly from the barrel. Plus, you and your friends will have the chance to bid on these special wines that have never been tasted by the public.

What celebration in Napa Valley would be complete without enjoying our world-class dining scene? Enjoy delicious food from Napa Valley top chefs as they present signature dishes from their restaurants.
