Wente Vineyards Winemaker's Dinner Celebrating 65 Years of the Angus Barn Restaurant

Monday, November 11 in the Angus Barn Wine Cellar
hosted by Van Eure with special guest Carolyn Wente
~ 6:00pm ~ $185 ~

The Angus Barn is excited to kick off our 65th year in business with an exquisite wine maker dinner featuring Carolyn Wente of Wente Vineyards. Wente Vineyards has provided The Angus Barn’s house wines for over 35 years. Both Carolyn and Van run family-owned businesses and worked alongside their dads for years learning the family business. The Wente’s, now known for their world-class vineyards, established themselves in Livermore Valley in the 1800s.

At this dinner, we will offer a variety of fine wines specially selected, introduced and described by Carolyn, paired with a classic five-course gourmet dinner, personally curated by Van.
