We invite you to join us for the seventh event of our 2026 50th Anniversary Dinner Series: "An Evening with Hamel Family W**es," taking place on Wednesday, October 21st.

Committed to dry farming and biodynamic practices, the w**es of Hamel are grown along the western slopes of the Mayacamas Mountains in Sonoma, California, and express the energy and character of ancient volcanic soil.

John Hamel, Director of W**egrowing, will lead guests through a lineup of six Hamel releases, including single vineyard expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon, accompanied by a five course tasting menu from Chef Tory and the L'Etoile team.

L’Etoile and Hamel Family W**es have been collaborating for almost twenty years in both culinary and philanthropic settings. Chef Tory, W**e Director Michael Kwas, and the entire L'Etoile team are excited to partner with Hamel once again for this dinner, which promises a dynamic fusion of late fall market ingredients with Hamel’s signature energetic and textured red w**es.

Reservations are available now via our website.
