Early on, Dan and Margaret Duckhorn had a vision – to craft world-class Pinot Noir that reflected the terroir of California, the tradition of Burgundy and the stature of their already legendary Merlot program in Napa Valley. Nestled amongst redwood forests, apple orchards and rugged, fog shrouded Pacific Coast, Goldeneye specializes in crafting singular Pinot Noir expressions, each intimately connected to the unique terroir of the region. Guided by Winemaker Kristen McMahan, Goldeneye's portfolio has earned numerous accolades from what is now the most expansive estate Pinot Noir program in Anderson Valley.
Beyond the wines, Goldeneye is set apart by its deep-rooted commitment to both community and land. Sustainability is not a buzzword; it's a way of life. From our vineyards, nurtured through sustainable farming practices, to our LEED gold certified winery, every step in the winemaking process embodies our dedication to preserving the environment and creating wines that are not just exceptional but also environmentally conscious.
Join us for this five-course dinner in the Rotunda for an evening where you can taste the passion, feel the tradition, and experience the essence of Goldeneye—a journey that celebrates the harmony of nature, craftsmanship and community.
