This special evening will be held at
the Culinary Institute of America at Copia, located on the Napa River. CIA at
Copia features a culinary museum, restaurant, event center, and amphitheater.
We’ll enjoy a cocktail reception
followed by a private multi-course dinner with wine pairings from Schramsberg
and Davies Vineyards (with vintner and owner Monique Davies). After dinner, we’ll head to the amphitheater for a private acoustic concert by
our favorite singer/songwriter, Shawn Mullins. We’ve even created a
Spotify playlist so you can brush up on his songs before the big night.

We are honored to welcome Monique Davies, the vibrant matriarch of one of Napa Valley’s most historic wine families. Their Blanc de Blancs famously made history in 1972 when it was used for President Nixon’s "Toast to Peace" in China—a tradition of being served at White House state dinners that continues to this day.
While Schramsberg defines American "bubbles," the Davies Vineyards label represents the family’s mastery of still wines, particularly their acclaimed Cabernet Sauvignons and Pinot Noirs. Tonight’s multi-course menu has been meticulously paired to showcase both portfolios—from the crisp, storied effervescence of Schramsberg to the soulful, estate-grown reds of Davies.
Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Shawn Mullins is a master of American storytelling, celebrated for his soulful baritone and hit songs like the chart-topping "Lullaby" and the evocative "Shimmer." A respected fixture in the folk-rock world, he also co-wrote the Zac Brown Band’s #1 smash "Toes," cementing his reputation as a songwriter who knows how to capture a perfect summer mood.
Known for his intimate, character-driven narratives, Shawn’s music is the ultimate accompaniment to a Napa evening. This private acoustic performance will showcase the warm, storyteller style that has made him a fan favorite for decades. We can't wait for you to experience his incredible talent under the stars.
