【May 21】Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars – Winemaker’s Dinner at The Oak Door

The Oak Door is honored to welcome Marcus Notaro, Head Winemaker of the renowned Napa Valley winery Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, for an exclusive one-night-only wine dinner.

Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars rose to international acclaim when it took first place in the red wine category at the 1976 “Judgment of Paris,” surpassing some of France’s most prestigious wines. This historic moment established the winery as a symbol of excellence and proved that world-class wines can come from beyond the traditional wine regions.

During this special evening, Mr. Notaro will share insights into the winery’s storied legacy, his winemaking philosophy, and how the involvement of Italy’s esteemed Marchesi Antinori since 2007 has further elevated the estate’s quality and global presence.
Delight in a dynamic yet refined multi-course dinner, thoughtfully crafted by The Oak Door’s culinary team, perfectly paired with the elegant and expressive wines of Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. Join us for an unforgettable night of storytelling, fine dining, and exceptional wine.
