Malibu Beach Inn located right on the sandy "Billionaires Beach" is collaborating with the legendary Napa winery Far Niente, for its first virtual winemaker’s dinner party.
On Thursday, April 30, enjoy a Malibu inspired four-course menu, paired with three different bottles of Far Niente wines: a Chardonnay, a Pinot Noir and a Cabernet Sauvignon.
Order the experience by Tuesday, April 28, and the dinner will be delivered to your front door (in the greater Los Angeles area) between 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. The delivery includes a Zoom link to help transport participants virtually to the vineyards of Napa. Also in the delivery box, “tech sheets” describe the wine’s characteristics to enhance the virtual dinner.
As a gift, each order will include a Far Niente commemorative Wine Key and three Malibu Beach Inn wine stoppers. Once you receive your delivery, all you need to do is heat the food, chill the Chardonnay and decant the Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon beforehand.
The four-course menu prepared by Carbon Beach Club's chef Chef Ryan Caldwell includes:
· Smoked Salmon Salad with chevre, granny smith apple, red onion, cucumber, mesclun mix, and black pepper-lemon vinaigrette
· Shitake Mushroom Polenta with arugula, roasted shallot-garlic butter, parmigiano Reggiano, herbed bread crumbs
· Braised Creekstone Short rib with farro, heirloom carrots, balsamic braised cipollini onions, spring peas, cabernet pan jus
· Chocolate Caramel Tart with peanut butter powder, marcona almonds
This virtual experience for two people is $275 inclusive of food, wine and delivery within a 25 mile radius. All orders must be received by Tuesday, April 28 at 5 p.m. The virtual winemaker dinner begins on Thursday, April 30 at 6:45 p.m.
Throughout the Zoom presentation, Chef Ryan Caldwell (Carbon Beach Club) will enlighten participants through each course, while Larry McGuire (President Emeritus of Far Niente) and Andrew Delos (Director of Winemaking) will acquaint participants about each wine they are sipping. Discover the unique aromatic and taste profile of the wines you’re enjoying, while socializing from a safe distance. Guests are free to participate in a Q&A during each course served.

In 1979, Gil and Beth Nickel purchased an abandoned winery in Napa, and spent a couple years restoring the stone building to its original 19th century grandeur. 'Far Niente,' meaning 'without a care,' was discovered etched in stone on the front of the building, dating back to 1885.
Now on the National Register of Historic Places, the estate practices sustainable farming in producing bottles of Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon wines.
