Napa in Newport Gala; 5pm at Pendry Newport Beach

Black tie optional. The signature event of the weekend, the Gala unites world-class vintners, renowned chefs, and generous guests for a night of purpose and indulgence. The evening begins with the Grand Tasting—over 25 premier Napa Valley wineries pouring limited-production wines, with rare access to the vintners themselves.

Then, enjoy a multi-course dinner by Chef Colin Bedford, paired tableside by Napa Valley winemakers for a truly immersive experience. A high-energy live auction follows, featuring exclusive travel, private dining, and rare wine—all supporting CureDuchenne’s mission to end Duchenne muscular dystrophy—an unforgettable night of fine wine, bold generosity, and lasting impact.
