About this event
This September, we’re welcoming Kevin Travis from Starmont Vineyards for an exclusive California Winemaker Dinner in Fleet Street.
There's something about Californians that you can sense as soon as you meet them – they're care-free, easy-going, and full of spirit. And when they make wine, you can taste it!
The diverse climate and geography makes California a haven for wine lovers. With regions like Napa Valley, one of the crown jewels of wine, California produces 81% of all US wine and ranks as the world’s fourth leading producer. So expect big flavours, rich stories, and a showcase of the state's finest, from age-worthy classics to groundbreaking organic gems.
### About the producer
We are incredibly excited to welcome Kevin Travis from Starmont & Merryvale Vineyards for a three-hour winemaker dinner exploring the icons, the rebels, and the hidden gems of California’s wine scene, from the powerhouse Cabernets of Napa and Santa Barbara to the wild, sun-drenched wines of Paso Robles and Santa Ynez. All the wines come from Starmont & Merryvale Vineyards - one Napa family, two estates, doing things properly since Jack Schlatter and co. took over Merryvale in 1996. They've spent decades turning Profile Estate fruit into old-world-style, estate-grown wines, then planted Stanly Ranch down in Carneros in 2001, now home to Starmont's sustainably-grown whites.
### What to expect
After a welcome drink , Kevin will guide you through the evening, taking you on a journey across five wines from the estates. You’ll experience the vibrancy of their Cabernets and the storied complexity of their Chardonnays - five glasses in total , all paired with a five-course seasonal and Californian menu prepared by our Executive Chef.
If you fall in love with the wines on the night, your ticket also includes a £40 voucher to redeem on the evening towards any case of six wines. Our team will be on hand to help you arrange your order.
