Vintner's Luncheon at
PlumpJack Estate Winery

PlumpJack Estate Winery blends history, innovation, and a deep respect for the land to craft wines of exceptional character. Founded in 1995, the winery was created with the intention of embodying the camaraderie and enjoyment of its namesake — Shakespeare’s irreverent, wine-loving Sir John “PlumpJack” Falstaff.

Set against sweeping panoramic vineyard views, the 42-acre estate is a place where heritage meets progress. Its historic winery building dates to the 1880s, yet PlumpJack has continually embraced innovation, from pioneering screw caps on luxury wines to refining its winemaking techniques. At today’s luncheon, guests will gather in the spirit of PlumpJack’s founding vision, enjoying a curated meal paired with the estate’s acclaimed wines. 

The afternoon also features a performance of arias and duets from Plump Jack, the celebrated opera by acclaimed composer Gordon Getty, based on Shakespeare’s Falstaff. Getty’s score, hailed for its “dark drama, arresting percussive exclamations, and intriguing dynamic contrasts” (San Francisco Classical Voice), captures the larger-than-life essence of its protagonist. It promises to be a special afternoon celebrating the estate’s rich legacy, pioneering spirit, and the joy of great wine and music shared in good company.
