Join us on Saturday, March 14, for our Founders' Food & Wine Pairing at ZD Wines at our Rutherford winery. This tasting will honor ZD's co-founders Norman and Rosa Lee deLeuze as we highlight Norm's favorite varietal: Pinot Noir.

This elevated seated experience features the soon-to-be released commemorative 2024 Founder's Reserve Carneros Pinot Noir, a limited-production wine from our organically certified Carneros Estate vineyard. This is a great opportunity to sample this wine prior to its public release. Additional samples of ZD's award-winning wines will accompany the tasting, including a winery-exclusive offering celebrating Rosa Lee deLeuze. Winery Chef Jill deLeuze Billeci, 3rd generation of the founding family, has crafted delectable pairings to complement these elegant wines. You do not want to miss this memorable day!

Additional samples of ZD's award-winning wines will accompany the tasting. Enjoy stunning panoramic views of Napa Valley from our Rutherford bench overlook, creating a breathtaking backdrop to this celebratory day. Hospitality professionals will lead you through ZD’s 58-year history, winemaking, and eco practices.
