Now in its fourth year, Sojourn™ is an internationally-themed wine-paired dinner gala that celebrates the culture, music, and cuisine of specific wine-producing regions of the world.

Deemed by the media as the “party of the year,” Sojourn™ is immersed in international culture. The reception features the art, dance and music of another world, complemented with a wine tasting and accompanied by sumptuous gourmet morsels. A sit down, wine-paired dinner follows and features indigenous foods prepared by renowned chefs and paired with some of the best wines the region produces.

After dinner, guests can bid on lavish vacation getaways and collectibles during an exciting live auction, followed by fine desserts and dancing to the rhythms of live main stage entertainment.
