Founders Dinner at
Domaine Carneros invitation only

Domaine Carneros is a winery of undeniable beauty. Its striking château has become a regional landmark, a symbol of the winery’s dedication to excellence in both its sparkling and still wines. Domaine Carneros hosts this year’s Founders Dinner, a celebration of the visionaries and patrons who launched Festival Napa Valley in 2006, and the major contributors to the 2025 season.
 
Founded in 1987 by the noble family behind Champagne Taittinger, Domaine Carneros has earned its reputation as a leader in méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines and estate-grown Pinot Noir. "Those who know our sparkling wines, speak of their balance, depth of flavor, and wonderful finish; their great aroma, elegant style, and tiny, tiny bubbles,” said founding winemaker Eileen Crane. “Classic. Sophisticated. Timeless. Think Audrey Hepburn in a little black dress."
 
Guests at this year’s Founders Dinner will be treated to a singular experience, filled with music, food, and wine that embodies the classic, sophisticated, and timeless qualities of the winery itself. With a glass of Domaine Carneros’ exceptional sparkling wine in hand, guests will toast the start of a new season and a summer of lasting memories.
