We'll kick sand in the face of the traditional, stuffy wine dinner - relax right on our beach with fabulous Hollywood & Vine wines, our gourmet grill, live entertainment, mingling with friends and your hosts
Doug Barr and Bruce Orosz.

Thursday, June 5 at 7:00 p.m.

By popular demand, The Colony’s Beach Bacchanal is back, Thursday, June 5 at 7:00 pm! Our first celebration was such a smash, we’ve decided to uncork another fabulous party, this time welcoming Doug Barr and Bruce Orosz from
Hollywood & Vine Cellars.

Actor turned director and screenwriter, Doug Barr, relocated to the Napa Valley from Hollywood, in the early 1990’s. Inspired to try his hand at the wine business, Doug called his longtime pal, Bruce Orosz, and together, they created Hollywood and Vine Cellars. H & V released its first vintage in 1998 to glowing reviews and continues garner praise from the press and connoisseurs alike. This boutique winery produces a limited number of bottles each year, so to experience these wines, consistently rated in the 90’s by Wine Spectator, is a connoisseur’s dream!

This intimate evening for true connoisseurs will include:

  • A reception in the sand with elegant passed hors d'oeuvres and an introductory wine.
  • Our gourmet grill on the beach, manned by the culinary talents from The Colony Restaurants, will allow guests to select their choice of an exquisite Filet Mignon, Delmonico Steak, Rack of Lamb, Ahi Tuna Steak or a Capon. Next, select from an array of custom blended salts and rubs. Our culinary team will be preparing tableside Caesars and sides to complement your selection.
  • A decadent display of desserts
  • Adding to this spectacular evening is a phenomenal showcase of wines from one of the industry's most celebrated vintners - Hollywood & Vine Cellars.
  • Live entertainment from a Flamenco guitarist
  • Hollywood & Vine wines will be available for purchase that evening from Tastebuds Gourmet Market & Wine Shop, located right at The Colony.

Price: $90 per person (plus tax & gratuity)

Heard through the grapevine...

"Hollywood & Vine's stunning 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon offers inky, purple color, followed by gorgeous aromas of white chocolate, creme de casis, licorice and subtle toasty oak.This flashy effort should drink beautifully for 15+ years."

Robert Parkins, The Wine Advocate, December, 2007

"The 2004 Cabernet offers a big, bold,rich and expressive style that packs in lots of flavor yet manages to be elegant and stylish without being heavy. 93 Points"
-Wine Spectator,
August, 2007

"Hollywood & Vine's 2003 Napa Valley Chardonnay is a classy effort, smooth and polished, with a tight focus on the core of citrus, pear, fig and smoky-toasty oak. A long, complex aftertaste that keeps offering hints of fruit and oak. 90 Points"
-Wine Spectator,
