INVITATION: 20th Anniversary Dinner Series—John Anthony Vineyards
Join John Anthony to commemorate our remarkable 20-year journey with an exclusive culinary series designed to captivate your senses.
The historic Church Vineyard estate sets the stage for guests to gather for an intimate affair of exceptional wine and cuisine beginning May 20th, 2023. Tour our stunning 4-acre hidden gem vineyard that John has been farming since 2003. Once a month, witness the changes of this idyllic setting throughout the growing season: bud break, veraison and harvest for an unforgettable experience.
Mark your calendars for a select Napa Valley experience like no other—each focused on a vineyard, varietal, vertical or vintage that defines the John Anthony portfolio. Each event is limited to ten guests for a truly intimate and memorable evening.
Join us:

Expert wine and food pairings by our Estate Chef, formerly of the French Laundry, will bring you on your chosen journey of John Anthony’s classic Napa Valley wines—each beginning with Sauvignon Blanc grown here at Church Vineyard.
Carefully crafted pairings will heighten the enjoyment of the wines while the John Anthony team shares the provenance of each wine and the inspiration for each course served.
Rounding out the evening, Chef will serve the dessert course paired with John Anthony Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc produced from Church Vineyards only in those vintages with specific conditions that create this luscious wine.
