Join us at VEA Newport Beach for an exclusive five-course wine dinner featuring rare vintages from The Vineyard House. This unforgettable evening begins with tray-passed bites and continues with a seasonal menu, each course expertly paired with estate wines from Oakville’s Halter Valley.
The Vineyard House, owned by 2nd generation vintner Jeremy Nickel, is a historic Napa Valley estate rooted in legacy and sustainability. With a commitment to organic farming, minimal intervention winemaking, and stewardship of the land, the estate produces world-class Bordeaux varietals under the guidance of renowned winemakers Philippe Melka and Maayan Koschitzky.
Proceeds from the dinner will benefit Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, helping fund life-saving care and services for children in need across local communities.
