The Evening's Details

Set amongst the winery's old vine zinfandel vineyard, this historic and beautiful site is transformed into an idyllic wine country dining experience.

The three-course meal, created by executive chef Mike Matson of Vintage Valley Catering, highlights our signature Stryker Sonoma wines, and features fresh seasonal ingredients sourced from our winemaker's very own garden.

As tradition warrants, tableside service will be provided by your favorite wine stewards, winery proprietor Craig MacDonald and winemaker Tim Hardin.

Enjoy old world accordion styles as the sun sets over the vineyard in the west, as a spectacular full moon rises in the eastern, twilight sky.

Cheese & Wine reception with passed appetizers begins at 6:00pm in the cafe, dinner seating at 7:00pm.
