Diwali at Cliff Lede Vineyards

Once a year, India lights every lamp it owns. Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is a celebration of gathering, feasting, and joy. This November, that spirit comes to the winery tank room in partnership with Nalla at Cliff Lede Vineyards. Experience an evening where the layered flavors of regional Indian cuisine meet the wines of Cliff Lede. Served on golden thali beneath the glow of the tanks, each course is thoughtfully paired. Shekar Sathyanarayana, founder of Nalla, Proprietor Jason Lede and Director of Winemaking Christopher Tynan will be your hosts for the evening. The Experience A Golden Welcome Arrive to the sounds of live sitar and tabla as you enjoy your first glass and settle into the evening.
