Next Gen Mondavi Dinner

Some families don’t just make wine—they shape a region. Join the Mondavi legacy for a rare evening that pours generations of vision, from Continuum’s mountain strength to RAEN’s coastal elegance.

Everything we know and love today about the Napa Valley was championed by one visionary: Robert Mondavi.

 

He recognized the incredible potential of California’s raw materials and paired them with his belief that fine wine is an essential part of “the good life.” The Mondavi family has not missed a single harvest since 1919, creating one of the most lasting legacies in American wine.

 

Now in its fourth generation, the Mondavi family continues to champion California terroir through many critically acclaimed wineries, most notably with Continuum and RAEN.

 

On June 12, 2026, the current generation of the Mondavi legacy will travel to Nashville for a rare evening at Halls Chophouse. Robert Mondavi’s grandchildren, Carissa Mondavi and Brian Mondavi Borger, will host an intimate dinner for just 15 couples, featuring a curated tasting of exceptional bottles from the exquisite cellar of Pam & Steve Taylor. From RAEN’s Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs to Continuum’s Sauvignon Blancs and Proprietary Reds, this evening will be one for the books!

 

Continuum’s high-elevation Napa Valley vineyards produce concentrated reds with remarkable aging potential. Meanwhile, RAEN, Research in Agriculture and Enology Naturally, focuses on aromatic Pinot Noirs from three single-vineyard sites along the western hills of the Sonoma Coast. Guests at this exclusive dinner will also have the rare opportunity to taste RAEN’s highly sought-after Chardonnay from pre-phylloxera vines at Fort Ross-Seaview’s historic Charles Ranch Vineyard.

 

This event is an invitation to sit at the table with Napa Valley royalty and experience the living legacy of the Mondavi family. Paddles up!
