WINES OF VINE HILL
RANCH VINEYARD

Bruce and Heather Phillips | Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard
20 guests, six acclaimed 2021 vintages, one legendary Oakville vineyard
 

Harvest STOMP celebrates the land, the people who farm it, and the wines that begin in Napa Valley's vineyards. This extraordinary evening brings all three together at legendary Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard, where just 20 guests will experience one of Oakville's most celebrated sites through the eyes and the wines of the Vintners who know it best.

​

For decades, many of Napa Valley's most acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignons have quietly been born from the remarkable soils of Vine Hill Ranch. On this unforgettable evening, guests will step beyond the label and into the vineyard itself, walking the very blocks where six extraordinary wines begin their journey.

The experience starts among the vines, glass in hand, as Vine Hill Ranch Vineyard's Vintner partners guide guests through the celebrated 2021 vintage, learning how farming decisions, elevation, exposure, and winemaking shape six distinctly different expressions from the same iconic vineyard.

 

As the sun slips behind the Mayacamas, the evening transitions to a golden hour Champagne reception before guests gather for dinner among the vines. Catered by Mustards Grill, Vine Hill Ranch's legendary next-door neighbor and one of Napa Valley's most beloved restaurants since 1983, a longtime favorite of local Vintners, growers, and visitors alike, the dinner continues with multiple vintages from the featured producers poured throughout the evening.

 

This is far more than a wine dinner. It is a rare opportunity to experience terroir from the ground up: to walk one of Napa Valley's greatest vineyards, meet the people behind the wines, and discover how one extraordinary place inspires six world-class interpretations.
