Mark your calendars for a very special farm-to-fork gathering in collaboration with our friends from Outstanding in the Field, an organization partnering with farmers and chefs worldwide to create immersive dining experiences that honor land, food and community - values aligning seamlessly with our own commitments - and enjoy an unforgettable afternoon at Robert Sinskey Vineyards & Wilding Farm.

A note from the Outstanding in the Field Team: We love returning to this corner of the beautiful Napa Valley—not only for Rob Sinskey’s extraordinary wines, but for his warm and welcoming presence. Our first visit with Robert Sinskey in 2013 was at the original Carneros property. This year, we return to Carneros and the new Sinskey headquarters: an 84-acre integrated farm and vineyard called Wilding Farm. As Rob says, “It reminds me of the old Napa, the one I moved to in the mid-’80s, with a mix of vineyards, farms, orchards, and cattle.” Add goats and sheep, and you’ve got Wilding Farm. We can’t wait to explore it.

Chefs from San Francisco’s A16 have collaborated with Outstanding in the Field many times over the years. Last summer, the restaurant opened a Napa outpost, blending the soul of Southern Italy with the bounty of Northern California wine country. Chef Valentin, who trained under Thomas Keller at Bouchon and La Calenda, stepped away from his wildly popular food truck, Mercadito, to helm the A16 Napa kitchen. Longtime A16 Executive Chef Yosuke Machida and Pastry Chef Charlie Guyard will cross the Golden Gate to partner with Valentin for this event. A16 kitchens are known for live-fire cooking, seasonal ingredients, and a deep respect for craft—a perfect complement to Wilding Farm’s bounty.
