You’ll arrive through St. Francis Winery’s iconic mission-style bell tower, welcomed with an enchanting first pour before being escorted to the estate dining room. There, panoramic views of the vineyards and surrounding mountains unfold just beyond the windows. Gathered around a communal table, you’ll share the experience with fellow guests, creating a sense of connection and anticipation as you embark together on an unforgettable culinary journey.

The experience begins with a warm introduction, followed by five masterfully composed courses that unfold in sequence. With each course, the wine is presented first, followed by a dish thoughtfully crafted to complement and enhance its character. A wine educator brings each pairing to life, sharing stories of the region and insight into the inspiration behind the chef’s creations.

The seasonal menu evolves throughout the year, drawing from exceptional farms and purveyors throughout Sonoma County and beyond. What remains constant is the experience itself: five wines, five courses, two hours, and warm, gracious service designed to make every moment feel effortless.

You’ll leave with a renewed appreciation for the way wine and food can transform one another, and perhaps with a bottle—or a newfound favorite—to extend the experience long after you’ve left the table.
