Join Chef Paul Brown and Sun Valley Culinary Institute for an evening showcasing the bold elegance of AXR Winery’s acclaimed red wines. From a welcoming glass of Pinot Noir to Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and a single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, each course is thoughtfully paired to complement the unique character of every wine. The evening concludes with a decadent chocolate dessert matched with one of AXR’s signature reds for a memorable finish. Founded on a historic St. Helena estate once owned by legendary Napa Valley vintner David Abreu, AXR Winery is dedicated to producing small-lot wines that showcase the distinctive character of Napa Valley’s finest vineyards. With a focus on thoughtful farming, meticulous winemaking, and balance over excess, AXR has earned a reputation for elegant, expressive wines that reflect both place and craftsmanship. This dinner offers a rare opportunity to experience several of the winery’s acclaimed bottlings side by side, each paired to bring out its unique personality.

NOTE: Dinner starts at 5 pm, so guests have time to also attend Sun Valley Ballroom later that evening.
