Herons

Hirsch Vineyards has been a defining voice of the West Sonoma Coast since 1980, when David Hirsch planted one of the region’s earliest and most remote vineyard sites overlooking the Pacific. Today, the winery is led by Jasmine Hirsch, who continues her father’s legacy with a clear focus on organic and biodynamic farming and wines that beautifully express the estate’s extreme maritime climate and distinctive earthquake terroir.

This intimate dinner in the Herons Private Dining Room will pair rare and back-vintage wines from Hirsch Vineyards with a thoughtfully crafted four-course menu from Executive Chef Steven Devereaux Greene. Hosted by Jasmine Hirsch, the evening offers a rare opportunity to taste the exceptional wines of the Hirsch estate while engaging directly with the person behind them.

Guests will also be among the first to learn about The Umstead Cuvée, an exclusive collaboration with Hirsch Vineyards, which will be available to taste and purchase at The Umstead beginning in March.

Tickets are $300 plus taxes and fees and are nonrefundable. Please call 919 447 4050 or visit us on Open Table to reserve this experience. Please call if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies.

What's up, DOC?

Unbottled is a deeper, masterclass-style experience. This tasting looks at Tuscany through a sharper lens, examining how Italian wine law shaped regions like Chianti, and how producers pushing beyond those rules sparked the Super Tuscan movement. Alongside a fantastic lineup of wines, this class connects history, regulation, and taste in a more focused, discussion-driven setting.

The masterclass will be held on Wednesday, February 25th in the Sycamore Room and begin at 6:30pm. A charcuterie display will be presented with the wines. Please call if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies. Tickets are $100 plus tax and service charge and are non-refundable.
