Californian Winery Evenings
Two of California's most prestigious wineries, Niebaum-Coppola and Viansa, have been chosen to host a truly memorable evening.

Nestled in the heart of the Napa Valley, Niebaum-Coppola is a winery estate steeped in history. Built in 1882, the stunning Inglenook Chateau offers not only award-winning wines but also a museum for memorabilia of Francis Ford Coppola. You will enjoy a star-studded evening of fine wines and food.

Closer to San Francisco, the Viansa Winery offers stunning views overlooking the Sonoma Valley. After a tour of the rustic underground cellar and the unique Italian Marketplace, delegates will enjoy a relaxed evening at this beautiful Tuscan-style winery.

This popular event will be run on two evenings and, depending upon demand, at both wineries. Tickets must be reserved in advance as there may be limited availability due to the size of the wineries. Delegates should indicate their chosen date on the registration form. The IBA will allocate which of the two wineries you will visit. A nonrefundable reservation fee is required to guarantee your booking.
