Evening with the Winemakers—Big Bottle Party—Dinner and Auction

Chuck Williams Culinary Arts Museum | Second Level at the CIA at Copia, Napa

Join us at the CIA at Copia for an unforgettable evening commemorating ZAP’s 35th Anniversary—a milestone honoring decades of Zinfandel passion, preservation, and advocacy. The elegant celebration begins in true ZAP style with the Big Bottle Party. Winemaker hosts will “pour it big” from favorite offerings—and in the spirit of sharing, guests are invited to bring their own large-format bottles to enjoy with fellow Zin lovers!

Savor seasonal hors d’oeuvres from Copia’s acclaimed kitchen while exploring a super silent auction featuring rare Zinfandels and exclusive experiences. Then, take your seat in the dramatic Museum dining room, where you’ll join your winemaker host for a lavish meal, paired to showcase the depth and diversity of Zinfandel.

As dessert is served, the energy builds for the live auction, led by the charismatic Dawn Marie Kotsonis, featuring coveted large-format bottles, wine country travel, and treasures created just for this occasion. An extraordinary evening awaits with wine, food, and fellowship—raising a glass to the community that makes Zinfandel thrive.
