Savor the heritage of Sonoma! Join us for an exclusive multi-course dinner featuring Alexander Valley Vineyards and Chef Curated Menu.

Experience the storied terroir of Sonoma County at Madison Beach Hotel’s Estate & Elegance Epicurean Dinner. This April, we celebrate the legacy of Alexander Valley Vineyards, a family-owned estate world-renowned for its rich, silk-textured Cabernet Sauvignon and deep roots in California’s wine history.

The evening features a curated multi-course menu designed by Executive Chef Christophe Santos, who has expertly balanced the bold, sun-ripened flavors of the valley with his signature culinary precision. To bring the vineyard to life, Sommelier Tanya Raisz will guide you through each flight, sharing the heritage of the Wetzel family estate and the art of the perfect pour.

From the first crisp sip of Chardonnay to the final, velvet note of an aged Red, join us for a masterclass in pairing that honors the soul of Sonoma. Reserve your seat for an evening of sophisticated flavors and seaside elegance.

Event begins promptly at 7 p.m. | Attire: Jackets
This ticketed and exclusive event is limited to 60 guests.
