The Coeur Foundation’s Cabernet Cookoff, hosted by HALL Napa Valley, had another successful event on Saturday, April 13, 2024 at HALL St. Helena. Emceed by Vintner Kathryn Hall, the annual event featured an impressive line-up of renowned Bay Area Chef Teams who vied for a chance to win proceeds for a charity of their choice by participating in a food and wine pairing competition. Ticket proceeds along with charitable donations benefited Napa Valley Non-profit organizations. Guests in attendance sampled all pairings and voted on the People’s Choice Awards, and a star-studded panel of celebrity judges tasted to vote for the Judges’ Choice Awards.

14 coveted Chef Teams were asked to create a dish that they felt paired best with 2021 Jack’s Masterpiece Cabernet Sauvignon. Each Chef team selected a 501c3 charity of their choice to compete for. We invited two representatives from the organizations to be present at the event to accept the winning donation.
