climate action
benefit dinners
Join us to experience an intimate evening of spectacular wines paired with dishes that will match with them perfectly, sharing transformative conversations and forming deep connections with climate leaders and changemakers. This inspirational gathering could be, truly, life-changing.
Your wine dinner ticket will be your donation (minimum $2500) and will build a pool of matching funds for growers and vintners with the greatest financial need to implement impactful sustainability and climate action projects, overseen by the Napa Community Foundation.
Aspirational climate action is essential. This is our future, the future of our children, the future of our community, of our planet, of our individual and collective health and longevity.
