Prepare yourself for a cosmically comedic and culinary collision under the stars!
Hosted by the Oakville trio of Gargiulo Vineyards, B Cellars & Silver Oak, these lifelong friends and neighbors have come together to create an outrageous, not-to-be-missed event for the ages! This ultra-exclusive evening unfolds at the stunning Gargiulo Vineyards estate in the heart of Napa Valley, combining true luxury with unapologetic fun. Famed comedian Sebastian Maniscalco and legendary chef Charlie Palmer are the dynamic duo that headline the marquee and are poised to deliver an illuminating and intimate once-in-a-lifetime experience for 100 lucky guests.
Sebastian Maniscalco is one of the most celebrated comedians of our time. Known for his razor-sharp observational humor, expressive physicality and fearless ability to turn everyday absurdities into laugh-out-loud moments, Sebastian doesn’t just perform—he commands. His comedy is bold, high-energy and wildly relatable; the kind that leaves your cheeks sore and your sides aching. Seeing him in an intimate vineyard setting, rather than a sold-out arena, is something money normally can’t buy—until now.
Dinner follows theatre in spectacular form, as only Napa Valley can, with renowned chef Charlie Palmer and his culinary prowess taking center stage. A culinary icon whose mastery blends refined technique with soulful, ingredient-driven cooking, Palmer’s menus are elegant yet approachable, luxurious without pretense—perfectly calibrated for a crowd that appreciates excellence without excess formality. Paired with hand-selected large-format offerings from each of the hosting vintners’ private cellars, specific vintages and vineyards will be featured, allowing the story of food and wine to own the spotlight. Nights like this deserve wines poured from bottles as bold as the memories being made and the greatness and magnitude of Oakville’s illustrious terroir will be on full display.
With only 100 tickets available for this rare experience and tickets valued at $5,000 per person, now is the time to secure your seat for what is shaping up to be a truly unforgettable evening! Join us on October 11, 2026, for a night under the stars that will never be replicated. The final 10 tickets will be auctioned off in real time at Auction Napa Valley 2026, turning the room electric as bidders compete for the last seats in the house.
This is Napa Valley at full throttle: laughter echoing through the vines, magnums uncorked, stars overhead and legends—on stage, in the kitchen and in the glass—all coming together for a single unforgettable night. Purchase your tickets now… this is one of those moments in time that you don’t want to miss.
