Brown Napa Valley Wine Dinner

An Evening With Brown Napa Valley

Founded by siblings Deneen, David, and Coral Brown, Brown Estate is Napa’s first and only Black-owned estate winery, built from land their parents reclaimed in 1980 and nurtured into a thriving vineyard. With over 40 years of farming heritage and completely family-owned operations in Napa Valley, Brown’s quality, history, and commitment to sustainability define their passion for winemaking.

The journey of Brown Estate began in 1996, with the harvest that would give birth to their first bottling of Brown Zin. The founders poured their heart and soul into crafting wines that would capture the essence of the land and reflect their passion for winemaking. Their dedication paid off, and in January 2000, they proudly unveiled their first three vintages at the prestigious ZAP Grand Tasting in San Francisco.

House of Brown was established in 2018 to expand access to the Brown wine experience, then nearly 25 years strong. The label designs are an homage to the brand’s Feel Seen ethos, and to the sense of welcome and belonging that are hallmarks at Brown. Produced with the same commitment to purity and balance that is foundational to Brown Estate, House of Brown wines are regeneratively farmed, certified sustainable, and vegan-friendly.

We invite you to a signature dining experience and celebration of Black History Month, featuring a curated selection of award winning Brown Napa Valley wines paired with a seasonal tasting menu from the Paradiso culinary team. Join us for this intimate gathering, limited to 26 guests, where we will guide you through an evening of delightful wine and culinary indulgences.
