The Ripening – A Summer Wine Dinner
July 11 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
$135
We are excited to announce that Distinguished Engagements is returning to Doukénie Winery to host another elevated wine dinner experience this summer.
Following our sold-out Awakening of the Vines dinner in March, we now celebrate the next chapter in the vineyard’s journey: The Ripening of the Grapes. As the vines flourish under the summer sun, Distinguished Engagements has thoughtfully curated a seasonal menu designed to complement the warm weather, beautiful vineyard views, and the wines of Doukénie Winery.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of exceptional food, handcrafted wines, and vineyard-side hospitality.
Reservations are limited. We look forward to sharing this special experience with you.
