FROM GROUND TO GLASS: WHERE FINE WINES BEGIN

Dalla Valle Vineyards | Eisele Vineyard | Harlan Estate | PRESS Napa Valley

Six guests, three legendary Napa Valley estates, one collaborative dinner at PRESS

 

Three estates. One tradition of patience. Long before a bottle is opened and shared, it is decided in the vineyard: in the choice to farm slowly, methodically, by hand, for the sake of land that will outlast any one generation. This lot unites three of the most acclaimed wine estates in the country, Dalla Valle Vineyards, Eisele Vineyard, and Harlan Estate, each defined by a unique terroir and a rigorous, deeply considered approach to farming. Together they represent a rare convergence: three singular vineyards, three families devoted to the same exacting standard, brought together for one evening.

The winning bidders will travel between all three estates over the course of two days, meeting the families and teams who tend this land, before gathering for a collaborative dinner at PRESS Napa Valley to share magnum bottles from each producer, a single evening, three singular terroirs.

To bid on this lot is to believe in something larger than the wines themselves: in the unhurried, exacting work of farming unique and distinctive ground with care, season after season.

Dalla Valle Vineyards
For the past forty years, Dalla Valle Vineyards has been quietly producing wines of character and elegance from the eastern hills of Oakville. Today, the estate is guided by Naoko and Maya Dalla Valle, a mother-and-daughter partnership who steward every vine and every vintage with meticulous care, together, in the vineyard, in the cellar, and at the helm. The winning bidders will walk the vineyards privately with Maya Dalla Valle, followed by a seated tasting. A magnum of Maya will be shared at the collaborative dinner, with a Dalla Valle family member and/or director in attendance for the evening.

Eisele Vineyard
A historic Napa Valley estate, Eisele Vineyard has farmed its Cabernet Sauvignon organically since 1998 and biodynamically since 2000, a commitment carried forward today by Artemis Domaines and the Pinault family in faithful expression of the vineyard's singular terroir. The winning bidders will enjoy a private visit and tasting. A magnum of Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon will be shared at the collaborative dinner, with Eisele's CEO or a member of the leadership team in attendance.

Harlan Estate
For nearly four decades, Harlan Estate has pursued a singular ambition: producing a California “First Growth,” born from 240 acres in the western hills above the Oakville benchlands, only 33 of which are planted to vine. Guests will walk the production building, draw a barrel sample in the cellar, and sit for a tasting of Harlan Estate vintages. A magnum of Harlan Estate will be poured at the collaborative dinner, with a family member and/or director in attendance.

PRESS Collaborative Dinner
To close the experience, the guests will gather for an evening of fine cuisine from Michelin-starred chef Philip Tessier of PRESS, paired with rare magnums from each estate visited in the days prior, a final, collaborative toast to the three terroirs they've come to know.
