Napa Valley & Beyond Experiences
Sky is the limit! We’ve traveled throughout Napa Valley, the Bay Area and across the country to share unique experiences with Parallel Wines. Examples of events and tastings we’ve done in the past few years:
~ CIA at Copia: If your itinerary will not allow a visit to taste with us in St. Helena, we have a unique partnership with the CIA at Copia in Napa utilizing their private dining rooms.
~ Vacation Rentals/Residences: Invite Parallel Wines for a formal tasting, heavy appetizer reception, buffet or seated, coursed dinner. We can also assist with securing a fantastic Napa Valley chef to create the ultimate pairing menu.
~ Corporate Receptions/Dinners: Allow us to pour Parallel Wines during your reception or pre-dinner event or we can pour at a seated, paired wine dinner.
