From Jan. 29 to 31, the Zinfandel Associates and Producers celebrates its 35th anniversary in style–way uptown–in Napa with a weekend of festivities accompanied by gourmet food.
Starting Thursday night with two intimate, winery hosted dinners, the multiday event is offering special weekend packages that include two nights of lodging at the Archer Hotel, a Saturday morning master class with vintners (including ZAP O.G. Joel Peterson) and a grand tasting Saturday afternoon at CIA's Copia center in Napa with chef prepared bites.
A Different Kind of Grand Tasting
ZAP is taking a unique approach to this tasting, writing on its website,
"This is an intimate gathering of only 200, featuring a carefully curated selection of winemakers and principals from 40 wineries, ready to pop the corks on their special offerings, including big bottles and rare wines. Set up as one expansive “lounge,” guests are encouraged to relax and savor acclaimed Zinfandels at the winery tables, as well as the ZAP-hosted bar.
Winemakers are also set loose to roam. It’s like an enhanced Heritage Lounge! Treat yourself to delightful bites crafted by Copia chefs and food artisans, ensuring a memorable afternoon in this charming setting."
