Lot #35 – Wine Culture 101
Copain Wines & Darioush Winery

Get ready for some intensive reconnaissance in northern California’s wine country.

First Darioush Winery will welcome you to an afternoon befitting the culture curious, a relaxed and intimate “Culture of Wine” lunch and tasting experience for six people set under the pistachio trees at the winery’s grounds in Napa. The resident wine historian and host, Nina Wemyss, will take you on a fascinating oenological journey through wine’s 7,000-year history while you enjoy a midday meal in the garden. The ever-evolving and mouth-watering lunch menu will showcase the seasonal bounty of the Napa Valley and you will savor limited-release and winery-exclusive Darioush wines, perfectly matched with each delectable course. Tonight, to start things off, take home a five-year vertical collection of Darioush Signature Cabernet Sauvignon from 2007-2011.

Next, Copain Wines invites you to join them at their winery in beautiful Healdsburg, at the center of Sonoma’s wine country, for the opportunity to enjoy an evening of outstanding wine and food. The team at Copain will welcome your group of six for an inside tour of the winery and a taste of upcoming releases from the barrels with the skilled winemaking team.

After relaxing on the picturesque hillside and taking in the staggering views, you will move on to a carefully curated wine country dinner paired with a selection of Copain’s library wines. And as a parting gift for the winning bidder this evening, Copain has included two Magnums of their flagship Pinot Noir, “En Haut,” and Kiser, “En Bas,” selected and signed by winemaker Wells Guthrie.
