The Grove Restaurant invites you to experience the monthly Winemaker Dinner Series—an intimate, four-course evening where the artistry of Napa Valley’s finest winemakers meets the culinary excellence of the Culinary Institute of America.

Held every second and fourth Thursday, June through December, from 7–9:30 p.m.

This is a rare opportunity to connect with the makers behind Napa’s finest wines in a setting that is as intimate as it is extraordinary.


The Evening Experience

  • The Welcome: Guests begin the evening in The Haven, our stunning cocktail lounge overlooking the Napa skyline, where they’re personally welcomed by the featured winemaker with a greeting pour and the story behind the winery.
  • The Dinner: The group then moves into our exclusive Winemaker Private Dining Room, where CIA Executive Chef Chris has designed a four-course menu created specifically to complement the exceptional wines from the featured producer’s portfolio.
