The gathering took place inside the private 6A residence of Faena House, where guests mixed and mingled as they indulged in unique and elegant wines from a members-only vineyard in Napa Valley. The sips were complemented by savory bites including beef sliders, duck confit, lamb ribs, caviar crostini and quiches, and later in the evening, a formal dinner, which was made complete with a special toast from the fabulous hosts.
