An Evening with Far Niente

Join us at Big Rock Italian Chophouse for an exclusive evening celebrating the wines and hospitality of Far Niente Wine Estates. Founded in Oakville in 1885 and revitalized by the Nickel family in 1979, Far Niente has built a celebrated Napa Valley legacy around exceptional Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, the House of Far Niente includes a distinguished family of wineries, each created to showcase unique varietals, vineyards, and expressions of California wine country. Throughout the evening, guests will enjoy a five-course dinner curated by our Executive Chef Chris Mayer, with each course thoughtfully paired with a selection from the Far Niente family of wines. Hosting the evening will be Drew Baloun, District Manager for Far Niente Wine Estates and Certified Specialist of Wine. Drew brings extensive knowledge of California wine along with an engaging and approachable style. He will guide guests through each pairing while sharing insight into the vineyards, wines, and stories behind the House of Far Niente. From the estate vineyards of Napa Valley to the table at Big Rock, this intimate dinner is an opportunity to experience exceptional wine, thoughtfully paired cuisine, and the gracious hospitality for which Far Niente is known. Far Niente itself describes food, wine, and hospitality as central to its Napa Valley experiences, making the partnership especially fitting for an evening like this.
