Join Whitehall Lane and the Leonardini family for an evening of fun conversation, fabulous wines and a Napa Valley-style, multi-course dinner to celebrate Auction Napa Valley. We'll toast the evening on the second floor patio overlooking the Mayacamas Mountains, then move into our Private Club Room for a fabulous meal paired with award-winning Reserve and library wines from the Leonardini's cellar.
