The event featured Napa’s renowned Staglin Family Vineyard, offering an exquisite wine selection perfectly paired with a gourmet menu crafted by Chef Andy Quinn of The Noortwyck. Each dish was as visually striking as it was delicious, elevating the evening to an unparalleled culinary experience.

Revel Rouge brought their signature touch to the setting, designing a stunning tablescape adorned with Christofle’s shimmering white gold accents and lush, exotic floral arrangements by Kaleidoscope Floral. Every detail, from flickering candlelight to meticulously arranged place settings, created a timeless and elegant atmosphere. Adding to the enchantment, Revel Rouge brought two ballroom dancers from Miami, Igorek Gorobchik and Alina Lisovaya, who captivated guests with their graceful performances, while a talented three-person jazz band provided a soulful soundtrack to the evening.

A standout moment of the evening was a moving vocal performance by a young girl from the Boys and Girls Club, leaving the audience deeply touched and inspired. Guests were transported on a sensory journey, indulging in the sights, sounds, and flavors of the night—a perfect blend of artistry, luxury, and connection.
