SHIFTING THE LENS 2024
New cuisines, exciting pairings, and fresh perspectives—Shifting the Lens, our award-winning culinary series, returned for another year with all-new guest chefs and menus that will make you rethink your approach to wine and food pairings.
Each Shifting the Lens residency included daytime tasting experiences from Thursday to Sunday in the Bubble Room. During Dinner & Dialogue, guests partook in a five-course pairing menu and joined an intimate discussion with the guest chef, Winemaker Nicole Hitchcock and other winery leaders about their perspectives on food, wine and culture.
