Inspired by this spirit, co-founders Courtney Guntz-Summers and Tahlia Suggs, both inaugural apprenticeship recipients of The Veraison Project’s partnership with Silver Oak, conceived of an idea to elevate the cookout experience.
They envisioned a stunning vineyard backdrop for this beloved tradition, giving birth to “The Cookout at the Vineyard.”
This three-day weekend celebration embodies the spirit of giving back and lifting up, directly empowering underrepresented professionals in the wine and hospitality industries through exceptional wine, delicious food, and meaningful connections. The event offers a truly unique experience, from a lively block party to a winery takeover completed by a grand cookout featuring renowned chefs.
