Afternoon Tea

We are excited to invite you to an exclusive Umstead Micro dinner on June 6th featuring Karen DeGolia, owner of Limerick Lane Cellars in Healdsburg, CA. Only 10 guests will have the opportunity to join us in the intimate Herons Dining Room for an unforgettable evening.

During the dinner, Limerick Lane will showcase eight of their exceptional wines, including their Rhone wine series, renowned Zinfandels, and blends, all sourced from their 53-acre estate in the Russian River Valley of Sonoma County.

Karen's history with the property and winery dates back to the early 90s, where she witnessed the first vintages produced from the old vine vineyard property. After her business career in the automotive and technology industries, she returned to Limerick Lane in 2002 and eventually purchased the famed Ricci vineyard in 2005, where she learned the magical dance that grapes have with mother nature from bud break to harvest.

The vineyards are anchored by plants dating back to 1910, situated where the ocean fog hits the Mayacamas mountains and cools the vineyards after long days of sun. Winemaker Chris Pittenger blends the elegant and distinctive wines, which personify the terroir, honor the history, and showcase the unique characteristics of their fruit.

Join us to hear Karen's story and experience the award-winning wines of Limerick Lane Cellars. As a local Chair of the Board for Vontier based in Raleigh, Karen brings a unique connection to the area, making this event an even more special opportunity to explore the world of wine.

The Umstead Hotel & Spa invites you to enjoy this incredible combination of 5-star cuisine from our Executive Chef Steven Devereaux Greene paired with World Class wines from Staglin Family Vineyard. Staglin is a small family-owned winery producing very limited quantities of estate grown wines from their vineyard in the Rutherford Bench region of Napa Valley. Representing all that Napa Valley can be in its highest form - tradition, quality, innovation, and deft expertise. Their wines simultaneously express complexity and subtlety, without falling into the trap of an overblown style for scores or mass marketing. This comes natural to them, of course, owning one of the most premium certified organic vineyard sites in the world on their Rutherford foothills estate.

Hosted by Staglin's National Sales Director Amber Mihna and our Wine Director Troy Revell, this is sure to be a memorable evening. We will be featuring RESA, a sister project to Staglin, and two back vintages of Staglin Estate Cabernet out of magnum. Tickets are now available for $450 plus tax and service charge, prepayment at the time of booking is required. Tickets are transferrable but non-refundable, and can be purchased through our reservations department at 919-447-4050. Don't miss your opportunity, and book today!
