Make new connections and strengthen existing ties at our first mixer of the year, being held at the beautiful Napa Valley Museum in Yountville.

Enjoy wines by Castello di Amorosa and tasty snacks, while perusing the Museum's latest exhibit: Thinking Outside the Bottle, which explores the multi-talented people behind our region's celebrated wine. Rarely relegating themselves to one creative outlet, these winemakers, viticulturalists and winery owners are also painters, ceramicists and sculptors. The exhibition offers an exploration of the artistic passions of the people behind the wine. More >
