Saturday, September 13th, 2008: Harvest Magnum Party Lunch
12PM to 3:30PM
In September, the Napa Valley transforms into a dance of crushpads and picking crews as wineries harvest up in the mountains and down in the Valley. At VIADER, our red wine grapes ripen later in the season, and so guests will be able to see the fruit at its peak, right at the start of this crucial turning point on the vine. We will provide a tasty picnic lunch served family style, and pair all the food with current and library VIADER wines out of magnums (1.5L).
Please contact Valaree at (707) 963-3816 with any questions.
