Item Description

Bid now for an exclusive John Anthony Wine & Food Experience at Church Vineyards for you and three guests!

By invitation only and reserved just for you and your three guests: Enjoy a seated Wine & Food Experience at Church Vineyards in the Carneros region of Napa Valley.

Guests are greeted with our La Dane Michele sparkling wine and are then taken through six John Anthony Vineyards wines presented in a duet with seasonal small bite pairings created by Chef Logan Foos.

The Church Vineyards property is serenely nestled in the heart of the Carneros AVA, planted to Sauvignon Blanc by John Anthony Truchard in 2005. The naming rights are signified by the majestic Church that sits in its four acres.

Historically significant -- being originally built in 1886 in Pennsylvania, then transported to Napa and erected in 2000 -- our Church property is truly one of the most iconic estates in the Napa Valley. Included are 41-foot vaulted ceilings, original stained glass windows and a bell tower with interior design work done by the famous Howard Backen.

About

John Anthony Truchard is a second-generation vintner whose heritage is rooted in the Napa Valley. First and foremost, he is a farmer. Each of his terroir-driven wines tells the story of his history in Napa.

John learned traditional winegrowing, the art of growing grapes to produce wine, from his father and other pioneering Napa Valley vintners. He worked alongside them from a very early age. As a young man, John put his passion and experience to work by starting his own vineyard management business. He sought small and previously undiscovered parcels of choice land throughout the Napa Valley to practice his terroir-driven style of viticulture. In the late 1990s, John began planting his own vineyards.

The John Anthony Vineyards portfolio presents a diverse range of American Viticultural Areas, single-vineyard sites, noble varietals, and exceptional library vintages.
